Tuesday

This morning the grade ones finished printing "L" and the grade twos worked on printing "In Flander's Fields". We didn't have Library today because there was a special group that was using it. Mrs. Kidd told us we could come on Thursday at 10, so we will be able to change our books. We always enjoy reading, so we still used this time today to read to each other or by ourselves.

After recess, we worked on our Nose Hill posters. We are trying to add extra details and make sure everyone in our group gets a chance to give ideas on what we need to make it better. Then we went in to meet with Room 1/2 to play a "Guess Who?" game. Mrs. Hamby, Mrs. Boyer and Mrs. Armour had all written clues and we took turns reading the clues and then guessing which teacher the clues were about. Some of us thought for sure we knew who it was, but it was tricky when we heard all the clues. We found out how much our teachers have in common. 

We are excited about writing our own clues and having our friends guess which clues are about us. We will try and think of clues that might be about more than one of us, so it will be harder to guess. (Hint: less about what we LOOK like, and more about what we LIKE to do)

We also started on a "PEACE" page in our art journal. We are thinking about what Peace LOOKs, FEELs, SMELLs, TASTEs and SOUNDs like. 

We watched a short video about what a graph is all about and how we can best represent our "data". Ask us about our Smartie Challenge graph.

Samantha shared her Xylophone today- we thought it sounded Peaceful. Birdy shared her favorite song - we ran out of time, so we just listened to it while we got ready for home. 

GREEN group is helping this week. Ingmar, Georgia, Malik and Max will be sharing. Max brought in his favorite book we are looking forward to reading it!

REMINDER: Remembrance Day assembly on FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 10th at 10:45. We will be singing "Waltzing Matilda" and have been practicing in class and Mr. O'Reilly. Please remind us this is a solemn assembly and we need to be quiet and respectful. We should be dressed in nice clothes like we would wear if we were going to a nice restaurant or church. (Do not need to be fancy.)

Picture Retakes are also on Friday first thing so we have another reason to dress up:)

Home Reading program is starting Wednesday. Watch for book bags coming home in the next couple of days. If anyone can volunteer T/W/TH mornings, please email Mrs. Armour and she will send more information. THANK YOU!
