Today was our second day with our artist in the classroom. Lynne is working with us to make haunted houses out of clay. The students really did a great job. She will be back next week after they are fired in the kiln so we can glaze them. We will be completing a creative writing assignment to go with them called "House For Sale". Look for them on display in front of the office just before Halloween. Here are some pictures.
Some of the students also participated in the Divisional Cross country meet. The course was just over a mile (1.2 to be exact). Boy were they fast! The fastest boy was from Athlone and finished it in 4:40. Here are some pics:
We finished our first math centre rotation today for place value and the small group instruction seemed to work well. I will try and post a video soon that shows the strategies used in our class. A great game we played on the iPad was Mathdoku! The kids thought it was going to be a price of cake but to their surprise it was quite a challenge, even on the beginner level. You might want to try it to help with your number sense.
A few reminders for you as well:
- picture day is Tuesday
- hot lunch forms are due back on 14th
- book orders are due back on 14th
- chess club has started at lunch on a Day 6.
- soccer forms are due back ASAP.
- I will need some parent volunteers soon to help make plaster casting masks but I will need to work around the artists schedules.
Have a happy thanksgiving!
