Today the students spent some time reflecting about Remembrance Day.  Their feelings shone through their work.  They truly expressed how thankful they are for the soldiers and veterans that have brought “peace” to our Canada.

We are beginning to learn about “Liquids” in Science. Today the students explored water.  They observed it, felt it and explored it using spoons, beakers, measuring cups and test tubes.  We discussed the importance of water.  Feel free to ask your child what he or she knows about water. What scientific facts can they share with you. The students are learning how to use a Storyboard as a plan for writing stories.  This Board will help them collect story elements prior to writing.  We as class created a class generated Storyboard about a book titled, “Sylvester and the Magic Pebble. It includes a beginning, middle and ending of a story. The students will have this storyboard when writing their own story.

Today we looked closely at the landscape of Iqaluit which is the capital city of Nunavut.  We are creating a class “Google Slide” show together and documenting as well as sketching in our creative journals.  Feel free task your child about this today. The students continue to learn about double digit addition without regrouping.  We discussed two rules today.  First you add the ones and then you add the tens.  We will continue this work tomorrow.  Some students have taken on the challenge to work through double digit addition with regrouping. Learning Commons - Wednesdays ( Please remember to bring your books back to school). Looking ahead…  What landscapes does Iqaluit have? Tomorrow is Popcorn Day again. If you did not bring a toonie today, you are welcome to do so tomorrow. Mrs. Sayani
