Snow or Rain- which would you rather?

Good morning,
I hope you all had a great weekend. My apologies for the lack of posts in the last couple of weeks.  I have figured out that not very many of you have been receiving the blog update via email, so I have been trying to sort that out. It may just come directly to your email in the near future.

Literacy- this week we are working on reading recipes as part of our unit on procedures. Today we looked at some videos of kids baking. We then wrote out the procedure for making 'Ants on a Log." We will continue to look at recipes and how they can be put in numbered steps or organized into first, then, next, etc. Last week we looked at the game checkers. We learned from our peers who had already played the game and now I think most of the class knows how to play.  It was interesting to hear all the different rules we had for what a King/Queen can do!

Numeracy - we are still working on patterning and identifying attributes. Help your child by asking questions about patterns around your house. What is the pattern core?  How many times does it repeat?  What attribute is changing? (colour, shape, texture, position, number)

Have a great day!
Ms. Rogers

Learning about Kandinsky

sorry- this never got posted!
Just wanted to give you a chance to see what we have been up to in Art this week. We learned about Kandinsky and studied some of his abstract artworks. We created our own version using layered circles and bright/patterned paper. They look amazing! 

Remembrance Day

Today the students will take part in our Remembrance Day service at 10:30.  I hope you received the messages in the agenda about our service and the invite to join us if you wanted. We have been learning about Animals in War and the role they played. We have also read a couple of books based on Remembrance Day the last couple of weeks. Students created peacock watercolour paintings that went a long with a story we read called, "Proud as a Peacock, Brave as a Lion."
Today we honour those men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice for our country, and we stand proud for military personnel who continue to represent Canada all over the world. Thank you for all that you have done all you continue to do.
