Monday, November 2, 2015

Welcome back! Hope you all enjoyed your long weekend and enjoyed your Halloween on Saturday, if you celebrated.

Today we did some sentence writing with our new word wall words. Being that we have all already improved so much on our writing, since the beginning of the school year, we were expected to use our word wall word in a sentence that had 5 or more words in it. This also allows us to be more creative with our writing.
Our new words are as follows, please practice with me at home too:

Group A       Group B
his                   no
dig                  go
pat                going
sun                must
put                kind
is                   find
big                gave
men                so
cat                 do
am              doing

In Phys. Ed. today, we did stations again. There were 5 different stations, a couple of them were new. Ask me what equipment I played with today.

Remember when I told you we starting measuring data last week and we talked a bit about graphs? Well today, we actually did some graphing practice together. As we were doing a graph on colors, we noticed that an increasing pattern appeared! Interesting how math concepts are connected to each other.

After lunch we watched a couple videos about Remembrance Day. We know that this day is coming up, next week, on Wednesday November 11. Before watching the videos, we shared some ideas of what we already knew about the special day. Then we watched two videos, one on the history of the battle field, and the other on the history of poppies. After the videos we shared a few things that we learned and discussed where the money from the poppies go. Following music, we started making a poppy wreath for our Remembrance Day assembly that will be next week.

Reminders:
-Please complete the home ready and return tomorrow. I thank you all for your cooperation as we do this program in our class.
-Class pictures coming home today.
-Picture re-take day is Wednesday, November 18
