We had a great day today.  We started off the day reading Thanksgiving stories and discussing our Thanksgivings.  The children also wrote their weekly spelling tests.  The marked spelling tests are coming home with your children tonight.  We continued working on our IB unit of inquiry today as well.  We reflected on the field trip we went on yesterday and compared the responsibilities we saw of children 200 years ago to our own.  We also created responsibility rainbows, where the children identified the responsibilities they have in their lives and wrote them down on a rainbow.  They coloured and decorated their rainbows using pastels which was a fun medium to master!  During math today we worked on more than and less than (grade one) and creating word problems (grade two).  The children also went to music and french class.

Homework:  Read for 15 minutes and record in the reading chart, re-write any incorrect spelling words 10 times each, and math pages 37 - 39 (grade one).

Important information: 

• Tomorrow is a PD day so there is no school for the students.
• Today was the last day of summer uniforms.  Beginning on Tuesday all children must wear their fall/winter uniforms.  This means no polo shirts will be accepted.  Children must come to school in their mock turtlenecks and wear either the long sweater or the sweater vest.  Navy socks or tights are the only acceptable socks and tights.
• Monday is a holiday due to the Thanksgiving holiday.  There will be no school.

Have a great long weekend!
