What Are We Up to this Week?

I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving. The children came back refreshed and ready to learn today. We had a Mass practice this morning and will be ready to go on Wednesday at 9:30 for our official Thanksgiving Mass.

This week we will wrap up our Place Value and Patterning unit. The students will be having a quiz on Friday. Rest assured that we have done many reviews in class and the students are ready to go! I will send home a quick review sheet before the quiz on Friday. The students really enjoyed playing number detective last week and were able to properly guess what number they were given by listening to place value clues. We were able to get outside to build a silent number line and take some pictures of all the Math around the St. Francis school yard. We will be moving onto addition and subtraction next week!

In Language, we are about ready to go with our Daily 5 stations. We will have a practice run on Wednesday! I can't wait to see how the students do in this fun and engaging literacy block! We have also started our "Ouch" narrative stories. I will let the children tell you all about these. So much fun!

Come and see the beautiful Fall art they created outside our classroom door, The students are learning about cool and warm colours and each created beautiful pieces for their portfolios.

Thanksgiving was a time to tell stories and reflect on why we are so grateful. Our interactive "Classbook" bulletin board is filled with reasons why we are thankful this year.  We are all so blessed!

ONE MORE THING... our Library day is on Monday's. A hard day to remember to return those library books. I will send out a REMIND to everyone on Sunday evenings.
