Today

- Literacy Stations are Remembrance Day themed, some of these include- reading the "Flander's Fields" poem, writing thank you letters to Veterans, and studying a kids newspaper article about Animals that have helped in war's past
- Students took a pre-assessment to show their prior knowledge about representing and comparing numbers to 10 000 (this will be our next area of focus in math)
- Students began to create a 24 hour representation clock of their day (using a circle)
- We studied a current event about the #LoveYYC tourism event that happened over the weekend; we discussed how this connects to tourism and the economy

It was another great day of inline skating - our next and final skating day is on Thursday. Today we did a very complex problem with Mrs. Harms, ask your student to show you their strategies for solving at home: Some octopuses, fish and a few mermaids are in a rock pool. Altogether there are 38 arms, 24 eyes and 8 tails in the pool. How many mermaids are there? In progress: - toy box project (due Friday) - region posters - french Christmas/winter Books  * Please make sure that you are carefully reading and signing all parts of the ski/snowboarding forms before sending them back to the school!  *Report Cards go home next Thursday!

- we learned about the buffalo and its many uses by First Nations groups in Alberta's past - we went over the project rubric for our Regions Poster - students must choose one of the six regions of Alberta to create a poster - our math learning leader Mrs. Harms came to work on problem solving with us and we talked about different strategies and questions when work - students worked with the composer from Calgary Opera to begin work on the music composition for the opera. Grandpa has five pockets in his jacket. In one pocket he has one chocolate. In another pocket he has two chocolates. In another he has four chocolates. In yet another he has double that many and in the fifth pocket he has double that many again. How many chocolates does Grandpa have in his jacket? Reminders: No School Friday (PD Day)

Today we started inline skating - our next skating day is tomorrow. Please remember to bring a helmet if you have one at home! Skating begins at 9:15am! Thank you to MW and KD for bringing in hot glue! Hopefully these donations will get us to the end of our projects! This week we are finishing our Alberta Region Posters and Toy Box Projects. Next week families are invited to join us for our Toy Fair in the learning commons. I will put the times in the blog later this week. We began working on a French Christmas Book (winter for students who do not celebrate). Reminder: Today Skiing and Snowboarding Forms went home, please read these carefully, fill out the permission pages, and retain the other information forms for the New Year!
