In writing we did the last piece of the editing process. Most of us have now completed an amazing piece of expository writing (introduction, supporting paragraphs and a conclusion). This piece of writing was glued into our visual journals and accompanies sketch of the plant that we researched.
During physical education, Miss Nanavaty had us practice our throwing, catching, blocking and running using a mix of reverse football and capture the flag. See if I can explain it to you. She also had us work on our communication skills. Students had to call the name of the person they were throwing the ball to. In math we worked on our subtraction word problems. We learned how important it is to read carefully and to apply the strategy of borrowing. Secondly, we learned a new dice game that had us focus on addition, subtraction, greater than, and less than. "The Secret Garden" revealed a new character named Colin. He is the son of Mr. Craven (Mary's cousin). He reminds of us of Mary when she first came to the manor. We discovered that he is ill and was the one that had been crying in the previous chapters. Lastly our friend Tommi, who is our resident artist, came for a visit! It was great :) Reminders: Chapters/Indigo Fundraiser - Tonight 5 - 7pm (130th Avenue Location) Picture Day - Wednesday, October 19 Halloween/Fun Lunch - October 31 (form sent home)
