Remembrance Day

The Colour Guard

We had a special assembly and some of our moms and some dads came.  We needed to be nice and kind and very quiet.  A Remembrance Day ceremony is to remember special people that fought for our freedom. Our wreath bearers wore special clothes and everyone got to wear a poppy.  It was a very serious assembly and we didn't do any clapping.  There were special guests wearing uniforms. We wore poppies to thank the people that went to the war!

Remember NO school tomorrow and Friday.  50s day is November 18!

The Peace Book

We made our own Todd Parr Peace book.  Tomorrow we will make a video - stay tuned!
We had music and we are working on our song called the Blitzen Boogie.  I brought the words home to practice - could you help me watch the video on YouTube?
We went to gym and we played Freeze Tag, Enchanted Forest and Museum.

Tomorrow is our Remembrance Day ceremony at 1:15.  Please join us :) 
It will be the 50th day of school on November 18.  We can dress 50s style and we will do a lot of 50s activities. 

Leader of the Week

I am the Leader of the Week!  I have my OWN snowmobile and quad.  I ride them in the backyard and I ride with my dad.  Sometimes my brother rides in the front with my dad.  I play hockey.  My team's name is the Foothills Flyers.  I am a goalie.  I have to wear heavy equipment and a different helmet, I use a different stick, too.  I have a glove and a blocker.  Hockey is very fun and I play for 60 minutes!  Sometimes, we even get a flood after the second period. Next year, I would like to sign up for football.

More Patterns

We made our own Patterning Books.  We had to make patterns using dabbers, shapes and we had to explain the pattern.
We went music class and we are practicing our Christmas song for the concert. We had gym outside, we walked around Emerson Lake.

Please remember to return the yellow note about yearbook as soon as possible.

We played Rock, Paper, Scissors in gym with Mrs.Welsh.
We worked some on patterns in math.  We found patterns in our lunches!  On apples, on lunch kits and even with food.  Someone even made a pattern with their fruit!

Leader of the Week!

I was the Leader of the Week last week.  I love to make pictures and patterns.  I like to sleep with my stuffy kitty cats, Sophie & Dotty.  They keep my good dreams.  I like to sleep over with my mom!  For fun, I like to play with my iPad.  I play Leap Day and Buddy Kick 2.  They are cool games but they are a little violent.  I am good at drawing in the line with special pens that I have at home.

Halloween Leaders

Yesterday at the end of the day, we drew names for our pumpkins!  Our parents were surprised when we brought them home.  The Halloween Leaders made centers for all of us.  One was Capture the Ghost, the Haunted Library, Put the Spider on the Web, Carry the Eyeball, Sweep the Balloon Pumpkin and Wrap the Mummy.  Thank you to Halloween Leaders for making Joe Clark fun!
In our Take Home folder, is all of our October writing.  We gave our best piece to Mrs. Saunderson!

We listened to a story called The Littlest Pumpkin and then we made our own pumpkin.
In gym, we played Turtle Tag and Bears & Squirrels Tag.
At morning meeting, we talked about being proactive.  Some kids said keep your hands to yourself, you make good choices, you don't blame other people, tell the truth.  It was good advice.
We used the Mac Books today!  We had to use a secret passcode - it was really hard!  We logged into Saunderson Snippets to listen to Raz-Kids.
