This week was full of fun things…pumpkin Math, dress up & hot dog day and class store!  Not to say we didn’t get a lot of great learning in, because we sure did!  Here’s a snapshot of what we did in class this week:

Math – we finished up our unit on addition and subtraction and will spend some time working on multiplication.  Students will soon be bringing home some multiplication flash cards and I will be testing them weekly.  It is our hope that students will become fluent in their times tables up to 10.

Language Arts – We continued Wonder. This week we were looking for new vocabulary words and continued to discuss perspective. We finished up a personal narrative writing piece where students wrote about a time they needed to be brave.

Social Studies – Our student votes were counted. We discussed how votes are counted and compared our class to the rest of the province – our results were very different!

Art – We are in the middle of assembling our ‘Elements of Art’ project. They’ll all be hung up in our classroom next week.

Science – This week we looked at how much food we throw into the garbage and discussed the importance of composting.

French – we are starting to learn basic greetings.

A few things coming up…

School Store Stock Up:  After Halloween is a great time to get candy 1/2 price!

Class Party on Monday:  The students earned their first class party this week!  We will celebrate on Monday afternoon.  Please send along pre-wrapped snacks that can be shared.
