We began our morning using flyers from Save On Foods to spend exactly $100.64.  The students cut out the items and the prices, no individual item can cost more than $9.99,  The students worked in pairs, cutting, adding, estimating, writing and gluing.  The activity not only taught them how to use the calculator, but how to estimate,  how to prepare a budget and learn that math is both practical and fun.

After math we wrote in our ME (morning exercise) an opinion essay on which is better, Christmas or Halloween.  The students had to list the positive aspects of Christmas and the positive aspects of Halloween then make a decision which one they think is best. 

 N read all the first sentences and quality of artwork in the M.E. books and gave out two prizes to the students with her choice of best work.  Congrats K and AM for winning the prizes.


After Lunch we played group games in the gym then helped set up the gym for the recognition assembly.  Today two students in our class were given awards.  S and D won for their amazing, positive, attitude and willingness to give their best at everything. Thank you S & D.
