We had a great day today. We started off the day reading a book about Thanksgiving and discussed the history of the holiday in Canada. The children then made a Thanksgiving day turkey and we all discussed what we are thankful for. During our IB unit of inquiry we continued on with responsibility. As a class we read a book about responsibility that showed what happens when you do not follow through with them. The students then identified a responsibility they have at home and wrote about it in their journals. During math we worked on 'mental math' where the children practice using their hands to add and subtract. We also practiced adding and subtracting a multitude of numbers by one mentally. Ask them to show you what they learned tonight! They also went to music and french class.
Homework: Read for 15 minutes and record in the reading chart, practice weekly spelling words, and cursive pages 13 - 14.
Important information:
- The weekly spelling test will take place on Thursday this week due to the P.D day on Friday.
- The field trip to the Bradley House Museum is taking place tomorrow. They may bring water bottles but may not bring their lunches. Make sure your child eats a big breakfast since we will not be having a snack until around 12:00 tomorrow.
- The children will be baking something at the Bradley House tomorrow as part of the event. If your child cannot eat the biscuits we are making please let me know.
- Friday is a P.D day this week. There is no school. Monday, October 10th is also a holiday and is not a school day.
