This morning we wrote wonderful poems to go in our cards that will be sent to soldiers as part of the "Write the Troops" campaign. We had to write a "Persona Poem" where we had to write from the perspective of a poppy. We used our five senses to describe what we would see, hear, feel, and a wish for our troops.
In math we had a huge challenge!! We had to estimate how many pop can tabs were in a bag sitting on our table. We worked together to develop a strategy and then actually estimate how many were there. Afterwards, we counted all the tabs and determined if our estimate was close. Some of us were very close and others were far off. We will continue to develop strategies for estimating. We played a game of "Fruit Bowl" outside during physical education. It was fun! During guided reading we are beginning to think more deeply about what we are reading. Students need to read for meaning and to understand! We are beginning to write summaries, ask wonderings, and answer questions related to our books. Lastly, in science we continue our work around waste and the importance of being an Environmental Citizen. We learned about what can be recycled and watched a video of how the recycling facility in Calgary works (http://www.calgary.ca/UEP/WRS/Pages/Recycling-information/Residential-services/Blue-cart-recycling/How-Recycling-Works.aspx). We are creating Public Service Announcements for the school to teach our peers about why it is important to recycle and how to use the bins in our classrooms. Reminders: Remembrance Day Assembly Tomorrow at 10am - donations for poppies are welcome No School Friday Volunteers needed for our November 29th field trip.
