November 5-8

There will not be a spelling list this week. We will be having a big quiz that will help us see the progress we are making in our spelling.  It is not a quiz that one studies for.

I am sending home a book order for November. If you wish to order anything for Christmas gifts, put the order in an envelope and make sure you write on the envelope that the items are for gifts. I'll get the gifts to you once the items arrive.

We had so much fun this week cooking our muffins on Halloween. I "renamed" all of the ingredients into spooky themed ingredients such as powdered ghost, ground bones and werewolf turds (their favourite). This was our non-fiction reading. One of the outcomes in our Language Arts curriculum is that students recognize different types of texts. Recognizing a letter, poem, recipe etc. would come under this outcome. It was a fun way to incorporate this outcome into our day. It was also a good way to practice sequencing which we did once we were back in the classroom.
