 Today we:

-Demonstrated our ability to express a word problem as an equation with a letter variable. We showed how we solved the problem using pictures, symbols, and words. We created our own word problem that connected to the equation 25=n+7.

-Chose our wetland animal that we will be including in our Pourquoi Stories. We started planning how the animal's adaptation and character flaw will be incorporated into the story.

-A picture of our Remembrance Day wreath that the class made yesterday is included below, with a special guest!

Reminders:

-School Remembrance Day Ceremony for students is tomorrow (Thursday). No school on Friday for Remembrance Day.

-Picture Retake Day has been moved to November 23.

-In-person Parent Teacher Student Conferences are next week November 24 and 25. Bookings will open on the evening of November 10th. It is important that I have the chance to connect with every family during conferences to discuss student learning.

 Today we: -Listened to the story "The Wish Tree" and created wish ornaments for our wish trees at Northern Lights. We will be putting up the trees and placing our ornaments tomorrow during Makerspace. -Learned about four ways to start writing the beginning of a story, including an action, a thought or question, a sound, and dialogue. We wrote a story beginning as a class and practiced writing a story beginning about a camping trip independently. Then we started planning how we will start our pourquoi story beginning with our wetland animal. Reminders: -PJ Day tomorrow. Please do not bring stuffies to school.
