April 25 Saakokoto

Highlights:

• Saakokoto came to visit our school and we had the opportunity to meet with him in the morning! 

He talked about how Na'a (mother nature) has many colorful animals and gifts that she brings us in the spring. Then he shared a story about Eagle boy. From this story we learned about the importance of never giving up, the importance of kinship and family, and sharing.

• Computers: we learned how to use Google Docs and Voice-to-Text, then we explored Google Slides and started creating a presentation of our choice. We played around with the features such as font, color, theme, adding pictures and text.

• Math: We completed our Math Word Problem #4: 
  Mike had 30 baby teeth.
  In Kindergarten he lost 2 baby teeth.
  Then, in grade 1 he lost 5 baby teeth.
  Then in grade 2 he lost 7 baby teeth.
  How many baby teeth did he lose in total? How many baby teeth does he have left in his mouth?

Strategies of using symbols, images and tallies were shared!

• Gym: We played frisbee games with hoops - one game was like musical chairs, 

the other one was with a partner and we practiced passing. 


Reminders:
1. Special Helper for next Monday is: Aadhya (favorite game)
