We had a long Fall, but it sure feels like Winter now! Be sure to bundle up; as long as it's warmer than -20 we'll still be heading outside for SPARK and recess!
I hope everyone had a fantastic Halloween; we had a great time in our classroom decorating the door, making bats, writing a news article about a zombie takeover, and enjoying Halloween treats!
November is going to be a very busy month! We're well into our classroom routine of centres on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays, where students have the chance to work one-on-one with myself for math and for guided reading. They're also able to work on reading and doing math problems at their level.
We're almost finished reading Holes! It's such a fantastic book it will be very bittersweet when it's over. Louis Sachar is an amazing author, so I encourage you to find more books of his to read at home!
In Science, we've discussed a lot about the properties of air, and now we're going to start focusing on aerodynamics and flight! This will be tons of fun as we'll begin looking at how animals and insects fly as well as how airplanes and other man-made objects fly!
Social Studies is going to be really fun this year, as well. We're still learning about democracy and now students are going to have the chance to create their own civilizations. This will be a really fun projects that will touch upon rule making, types of governments, mapping, and communities! I can't wait to see what the students all come up with!
I hope you're all staying warm in this cold weather, it sure feels like Christmas is just around the corner!
