Upcoming Reminders and/or Events:

  • Scholastic Book Fair ends tomorrow (Tuesday!)
  • Trail Walk is on Wednesday! We will be on the trail from 8:50-9:20am. Parents and grandparents are welcome to join us.
  • No School on Friday, November 23rd for students. Teachers in session only. I am excited to attend the Tech for Learning Summit here in Victoria.

Here's what we're up to in class:

  • Spelling: We are focusing on the letter combo 'sc' this week. Something 'sc' makes the /s/ sound as in scenic. 'Sc' can also sound like /sk/ as in schedule. 'Sc' can sound like /sh/ as in schedule.
  • Gym: We are in our final week of floor hockey. We'll be focusing on goal tending and scoring skills as well as learning how to play the game before our tournament week.
  • Math: This week we are moving into a shorter unit on addition of numbers to 10 000 and 1 000 000. We'll be using our learning from number sense to help with strategies such as using place value, drawing pictures, and more to help us solve problems.
  • Writing Studio: We are finishing up our final drafts using Google Docs of our first published story.
  • Science: Today we experimented with making a solution of dough for our Amusement Park models. The rest of the week we'll be perfecting our dough and using it to create our models. I can't wait to see Division 3s amusement park towards the end of the week!
