We have had a very busy November.  We have lots going on. The students have really enjoyed working with DASH and DOT our robots.  As well, they have been learning about different kinds of motion and how to do experiments to learn about how things move. They  are spending more time writing stories and improving their reading skills. In math we have been working on understanding numbers to 1000. This past week we started to better understand estimation and when it is helpful to estimate rather than know exact answers.  Also the children love to spend time with their little buddies.  We usually visit them after lunch on Thursdays to read books or help them with their printing.  The children are also enjoying more tech time.

We have two computers in the classroom which the students have used to watch the bears on Grouse Mtn, while they prepare to hibernate.  You can access the webcam here. 

 

 

This month, our VIP sharing is personal choice. Please help your child prepare for his or her day.  

Other notes:
– If it is raining and your child wears boots to school, please ensure they have a pair of runners for using in the gym for their own safety and comfort.
– Thank you for supporting our book fair! I am happy to report Ryan in our class won the draw for free books for him and the class. I will be sharing our new books on Wednesday.
– Christmas giving– We know Christmas can be very expensive.  We discussed this with the students and they have decided that rather than each of them giving each other xmas gifts we can help animals who are unable to help themselves.  They would like to donate to a charity for rescuing animals (Caarerescue). Please feel free to donate $1 if you wish, we will also collect old towels as these can be helpful as well.
