SNOW!
It's back! That playable, frosty, white stuff! Our vote this morning, said that double the number of students were excited to see snow, than not!
We worked hard to spot, extend and communicate number patterns in all sorts of situations, such as ordering toppings on sundaes, reading pages of books, and raising money! We finished off our unit by planning our Charity Fundraiser.
We have now started MULTIPLICATION! We will be multiplying 2 and 3-digit numbers, by 2-digit numbers. We have been practicing our basic 12 x 12 facts with strategies, tricks and memorization. Students are encouraged to practice at home with games, and online links (found on the math page) to help them build fluency for our bigger numbers and word problems.
In Language, we are focusing on Character Traits - what traits describe a character, and what proof tells us this. We are continuing to read The Wild Robot! We are also writing Biography paragraphs on a person of inspiration!
We are continuing to work on Communication - how we can be a great oral, visual and written communicator!
*I look forward to meeting with those who have signed up for Parent-Teacher Interviews this Thursday evening. If you would like to discuss your child's progress, but are unable to make this day/time, please send a note in the Agenda and we can set up a phone or meeting at a time that works better!

Happy November!
What an exciting Halloween week we had, full of pumpkin carving, dance-a-thons and costumes! Thank you all for your support for the Barrhaven Food Drive with your raffle tickets, and non-perishable food items - what a community!
This week:
Math: Tuesday we will be having a Patterning quiz. Students were given a review, but also check out the games under the 'Math' section on our blog. We have also been working on a Fundraising project, to plan our own event for a charity important to us. We will be starting multiplication this week. Students are encouraged to keep practicing those basic skills at home and through games! (e.g. 5 x 2)
Language: We are continuing to read The Wild Robot, curious about how Roz is going to adapt to her new surroundings, working on communicating our ideas and thoughts clearly through group discussions and technology. We are finishing up our Book Review presentations this week to share with the class - we have movie trailers, posters, slideshows - we can't wait!
In writing, students are working on forming clear paragraphs with topic sentences, and million dollar sentences!
What else!? Don't forget to bring in those used batteries to recycle! Check out the newsletter for some of our Battery Bosses!
Students are selling poppies all this week during fourth block! *ALSO, if you have any family members who have serve, or have served, we would love if you could bring in a picture to share for our Wall of Honour!
