Tuesday!

This week is well underway!

We are focusing on Remembrance Day this week in our language rotations.  We are reading Canada Remember Times - which is a great resource from Veterans Canada. It is a newspaper style activity that the kids read through and go over and discuss in small groups. Activities and information regarding our Canadian Forces and their service during WW1, WW2, Afghanistan, and other conflicts that our members have contributed to are included in this newspaper. The Legion is also having a poster/poem/essay contest that the kids are participating in for Remembrance Day as well.  We are still reading our class novel - End of Days - and we are still working on chapter summaries.

In math, we are working on exponents and perfect squares, as well as square roots. No quizzes or tests on the horizon right now.

In gym, we are working on volleyball skills.

In history, the students are discussing the 5 external events that led up to the Confederation of Canada. The kids are working in small groups and will share their research early next week.

The Remembrance Day assembly is next Tuesday - I will keep you posted on the exact time.

Take care,
Miss Waddell
