Yesterday, we had a guest reader come to our class! Gabe, a member of the SFU hockey team, read Boo! by Robert Munsch to us, and we all loved it. Afterwards, we had the chance to ask him questions about his life at SFU and his experiences in hockey. Thank you, Gabe, for sharing your time and stories with us!
Thank you to Ms. Foy for arranging this fun event for the school!
We worked on a fun, fall-inspired art project! We used zentangle patterns, which are intricate and repetitive designs made from simple shapes, to draw the designs of the leaves. Then we added tissue paper for the background. We learned about cool and warm colours. Cool colours are blues, greens, and purples, while warm colours are reds, oranges, and yellows. Some of us chose warm colours for the background, while others selected cool colours! This was such a fun project that required using many different materials and learning new art skills, while also connecting to our math lessons on patterns.
We had a great time creating jack-o’-lanterns with our little buddies! First, we helped them make their own, and then we got to create our own. We enjoyed seeing and working with our little buddies!
For Thanksgiving, we explored gratitude and thankfulness together. We brainstormed all the things we’re grateful for and why they matter to us. We looked closely at gratitude, thinking about people we appreciate, places we love, things we cherish, memorable events, and qualities we value in ourselves. This reflection sparked many meaningful discussions around thankfulness!

We are so excited to have pen pals this year! Last week, we wrote our first introductory letters, and this week, we received our first letters back! Our pen pals wrote about who they are, what they like, and their favourite things. It was so fun to read all about them and find connections between us. We can’t wait to write our next letters to mail out!
