And it's November...
So much has been going on in our classroom. We are working on a song with our reading buddies in Mr. Josias' class that we will be performing November 11 at the Remembrance Day Assembly. You are welcome to attend this assembly; it will be a very moving tribute to our soldiers both past and present.
In Language the students are working on developing their decoding strategies in reading. We have been talking about finding little words in big words to help us read larger vocabulary. In writing, we are focusing on the conventions of a sentence and using a variety of punctuation types when we are writing a paragraph.
Our current Magic Tree House book takes place during the Medieval Time Period so we have been reading some fairy tales and discussing the elements of stories like characters and setting. The students will also be working on retelling stories with the beginning, middle and end.
In math we continue to work on representing numbers and have now started to use place value blocks. The students will be solving problems and developing their skills with the place value of numbers.

RAZ kids accounts have now been updated and students will be gluing their login information into their planners. This program can be accessed at home for further practice on reading and understanding stories.
In Social Studies we will be discussing the significance of Remembrance Day and the symbol of the poppy. In Art we made the textured art poppies to display. The students did a terrific job! Be sure to take a look at your child's art if you are able to make it to the assembly next week.
That's all for now!
