November 17th - November 21st

We shared some more pigeon books this week.  I will set these out next Friday and you can check them out before or after your conference.  They all did a fabulous job!

We finished reading the novel My Father's Dragon.  We can't wait to read the next one in the series. We are writing a response to the novel.  Who wants to write in a desk?  Check out all of the places we choose to write.

We are getting ready for our MacKenzie Art Gallery trip.  We have been studying Wilf Perreault's style of painting.  We collected some pictures from our community and have practiced drawing them. It was challenging!

Here are some kids practicing their spelling during wordwork. 

We have talked more about our Genius Hour projects this week.  Everyone has come up with a few ideas about things they want to learn about.  Some topics that have come up include space, rocks and minerals and making movies. 

We are almost done our math unit called Numbers to 100.  We will be starting a new unit next week called Addition and Subtraction to 18.  You can help your child by practicing these facts at home.  If they already know them you can practice facts up to 100!

I am looking forward to seeing you at the conference on Friday!
