Wednesday October 30

Learning intentions for our day...

  • In Writer's Workshop we considered why a writer writes.  We made two goals for ourselves as writers:  To make our writing interesting and clear for our readers.  All of our learning will support these two goals throughout the year.
  • In Math we continued our Robot Stepper investigation.  This investigation is helping us skip count and notice patterns within sets of numbers.
  • Some of us continued to record our thinking about archaeology while others of us began to consider what a natural resource is within Inquiry.  Knowing what the traditional Blackfoot resources were, we created a definition for 'natural resources'.  Categorizing pictures as examples or non-examples and justifying our thinking is helping us to refine our definition.

Ask me about...

the patterns I discovered in my robot stepper investigation today.

Reminders...

  • Jacket Racket will continue to Wednesday Nov. 6th.  Please send gently used winter wear including coats, mittens, scarves, hats, boots, etc. to school in a bag marked with the items and sizes inside.  We appreciate your support of this much needed program!
  • Intramurals for Grades Three and Four will begin on Thursday, November 28 and run at 11:45 to 12:10 on Thursdays. Intramurals focuses on game play in activities such as badminton, basketball, football, team handball, soccer, volleyball, etc.  There is a limit of 40 participants.  If more than 40 people sign up, a random draw will be held to decide the participants.  Please go to the EHS Physical Education blog to sign up (link).
  • Halloween is Thursday.  Students are welcome to wear costumes to school that day.  No weapons or masks though for safety reasons.  Thank you for leaving treats at home too!  Goodness knows we will all get lots on Thursday night!!
  • Friday is a Professional Day so no school for students.
