Happy Tuesday Nov 26!
Make sure you are reading at home and coming to show me so I can hand out hockey cards!

Movember donations graciously accepted by the students at lunch time just outside the learning commons. I can also take them from students to submit votes as well. Just to clarify, votes are for the worst mustache! If you want to see Mr Lancee with dyed hair and mustache then vote for him!
Wednesday, Dec. 4 the Grades 1, 2, and 3 classes will perform for our winter concert!
Friday Nov 29 is the November Pillars of Care Assembly!
Just a reminder to make sure students are doing mathletics at home! I posted new assignments today :)

I wanted to inform everyone that an incident took place today in which the classroom had to be evacuated. The students quickly moved from our room into room 6 where we continued our writing.
Thank you.

Today the students began their day with a math talk using the problem:

Is it true?
8 > 5+5
If it is false...make it true.

It was great to see how students have been developing their number sense and using their addition skills to solve this problem! Students had to take it a step further to make it true...
See if you can solve it at home!

After morning meeting we moved into some quiet reading in which all the students read to self using their new leveled books.

After gym we returned to class and began to write about what kinds of pets would make a perfect pet! Students started brainstorming common animals and then transitioned into what it would be like to own some unusual pets like sharks or dinosaurs!

After lunch the students went to music before returning to class to do science. Today we looked at four different magnets: Bar, ring, horseshoe and wand. Tomorrow we will be testing the strength of these magnets!

We finished off our day by looking at the novel study, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory! The reading of this novel will help to shape our writing for the next little while. Beginning with characters and settings.

Hope everyone has a great evening!
Mr Lancee
