Happy chilly Tuesday Oct 29!

Welcome to our last week of October and today was a frosty one, but its getting warmer!

Reminders:
Orange and black day on Thursday Oct 31. Please no costumes at school.
Thursday is also our Pillars of Care assembly! 12:30 pm. I will announce the winners Wednesday!
No school Friday as it is a teacher PD day.

Today:
We began our day with our morning meeting leading into read to self. Students earned some time after read to self to read to someone!
Speaking of reading, I love how many students are completing their reading at home and earning hockey cards! Today I did not have time to hand them out at the end of the day so I will make sure everyone gets them tomorrow!

After reading we did our last day of soccer in phys. ed. Tomorrow we have dance again at 8:30 am!

After phys ed we did a whole class word work in which the students used scrabble tiles to make equations for spelling. Each letter was worth a number, they had to total up the numbers to find what their word was worth!

We then began our monster writing to describe our different monsters. Students had practiced this last week and we will be making this project for the rest of the week.

In the afternoon the students looked at our new pumpkin, "Kevin" and made an estimation about how many seeds were in the pumpkin. Tomorrow the students will be estimating how many seeds are in the bag of seeds I will pull out of the pumpkin. On Thursday we will count them all! Students also voted on the face they wanted for their pumpkin to be carved!

We finished off our day as botanists! Scientists of plants! Each student was given an ipad to research the different plants that can be found within Saskatchewan and the prairies. We then drew these plants and will be glueing them to a garden we will make in our classroom!

Have a great evening everyone!
