We started the day with a D.O.L. (Daily Oral Language, where the students correct a sentence), and then went into Writing Workshop.  The class is continuing on their personal narratives, and a few have even finished their published copies.  These will be on display on our wall of fame, so feel free to pop by and have a look anytime.

Then we ran through our poem for the Remembrance Day Assembly, which is this Friday at 11:30 AM.  You are welcome to join us, along with any extended family.  Our class will be reciting a poem during the assembly.

For RW today we finished the activities associated with Chapter 6 from 'Henry and the Clubhouse', and then went on to reading Chapter 7.  This is the final chapter in the book, and then each student will have an exciting project to work on based on the novel.

During Math, the 4's continued building on their mental math and estimation strategies with subtraction while the 3's continued skip counting with coins.  We also had a Mad Minute quiz today, where the students had 2 minutes and 30 seconds to complete 50 one digit addition problems.

Then the class had P.E. and P.O.W. with Mr. Banman.

After lunch, we had S.S., and today was one final work block for their treasure maps. The rest of the work must be done on their own time, and they are welcome to bring them home to work on.
