November 10th Update

Mistake on Calendar!

Our library day is always Day 5. On the calendar that I sent home it is listed on Day 1. Sorry for the confusion!

Pride Assembly

Our class is hosting the November Pride Assembly. The assembly is scheduled for November 29th at 2:00. Families are welcome to attend. We will begin preparations next week in class.

Interviews

Student-led conferences will occur on the evening of November 23rd, and the morning of November 24th. I will be working on the schedule this weekend. If you have not yet sent an form back to school either with your child in my class, OR with their sibling please let me know ASAP. Conference times will be sent home this Wednesday. 

Math 

In math we are learning about place value, and representing numbers. Here is an anchor chart that we have been adding to this week: 
The red writing is for Grade 2s and the Blue writing is for Grade 3s. 

We also discussed representing numbers as words. All students should know how to properly spell the number words to twenty. If students are not able to do this, it would benefit them to practise at home. 

Yesterday in math students were challenged to represent 84 (Grade 2), or 184 (Grade 3) using base ten blocks in as many ways as possible. During our math congress an interesting pattern was uncovered:



We will continue to work on problems involving representing numbers in different ways, as well as comparing numbers, and rounding numbers next week. We will have a test about place value soon. Please watch or communication around this. 

Social Studies

We began a brand new learning topic in social studies today! We are  now going to think like historians and examine the past. Here is a glimpse at our new learning wall. I am excited to fill this in with our new learning in the coming weeks!



Remembrance Day

This week we had a very special guest speaker discuss the importance of Remembrance Day with us. Mrs. Lacroix made a wonderful, engaging presentation to us on her own time. We appreciate this very much. Here are some pictures. 





Our school today!
