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!
