We had a great week this week and enjoyed the beautiful Remembrance Day assembly this morning.  Here’s a snapshot of what we’ve been working on this week:

• Students are LOVING  Amal Unbound, the novel we are studying.  We will finish it up early next week.
• Multi-digit multiplication was what we started working on this week.  It can be a tricky concept for some students.  We will keep working on this over the next couple of weeks.
• We did a variety of activities this week leading up to Remembrance Day.
• We learned about colour theory this week and students went into the garden and looked for different coloured items to put around the colour wheel.  We will begin a colour name art project next week.
• We finished our mini-unit on the overview of the Bible and we have been working on memorizing books of the old testament (we are up to Ruth).
• We had our ‘Beat the Teacher’ book reading reveal today!  I managed to read 11 books since the beginning of the school year.  All students that read more than 11 will receive a slurpee on Monday afternoon.  Students will now begin again & have until spring break to try and beat the number of books I can read!

Parent Teacher Interviews:  Just a reminder that there is no school on Wednesday, as I will be meeting with each of you!  =)

Scholastic Book Fair:  Next week is our scholastic book fair. Tuesday – Thursday the book fair will be open before and after school for students and parents to purchase books.  It will also be open on Wednesday if you’d like to take a look while you are here for interviews.
