We had a great trip to the museum last Wednesday.  The IMAX 3-D movie was incredible and everyone had fun skating.  This Thursday we are going to GISS for the Remembrance Day ceremony with Mr. MacQueen's class.  Our class will be reading a poem called, "We Shall Keep the Faith" which is a response to "In Flanders Fields".  It was written by Malina Michael in 1918.  Afterwards we will be going swimming. 

Subjects

Math:   This week we are starting to learn about integers (positive and negative) numbers and how to compare them and use them in addition and subtraction.
   "Math is the science of patterns."
Reading:    We are starting to use "word sorts" which is a spelling focusing on patterns of spelling (endings, inflections, etc.) 3 groups of students are working at different levels.  We will also be doing some reading for Remembrance Day.  
Writing:    Students continue to learn about sentences and grammar.   I hope to start students on creating a blog this week.  
Science: The History of the Earth timeline is displayed on the ramp going down to the gym.  Our focus now will be on geology--rocks and minerals.  
Social Studies: We will be looking at longitude and latitude on maps.
Art:  We are focusing on Halloween Art.   
PE:  Students are practicing compass work, ultimate frisbee and we are focusing on fitness and flexibility. One day a week students have a dance class.  Next we'll be doing some square dancing.
French:   In French we are focusing on the greetings, numbers, and colours.
