Craft fair at Tillicum tonight  Friday starting at 4

Remembrance day is Tuesday No School

Our Remembrance day Assembly is on Monday

Students in Cubs, Scouts, Cadets, Brownies etc can come in uniform to be part of the Colour Party at the assembly.  Families are welcome to join us at the assembly as well.

We began the day with our weekly Spelling test, Unit 5.  Because we are working with three different spelling lists, I give the students a drawing assignment for the back side.  Todays drawing assignment was to incorporate a poppy into a design.

After spelling we continued reading from the short novella, (a story longer than a short story but shorter than a novel), The Fantastic Mr. Fox.  I read and the students listen and summarize each chapter and add a small picture to go along with it.   Today we read 3 chapters.  From Mr. Fox has a Plan to Mrs. Fox gets a Surprise.

After recess we worked on Remembrance day wreath version 2 then did a Remembrance day one sentence write with a picture to go with it.  The results are always amazing when students are challenged to write a short statement that holds a lot of meaning.  I will post some of the results next week.

In the afternoon we went to Buddies where the students helped the grade 1's put together an A-B-C --Z book.  This activity involved a lot of cutting and pasting and there were a few strange errors that complicated the process.  I think maybe they stopped listening to Mrs. Dagg after A, B, C... they thought they knew what was happening but 7 had to restart for various reasons.

After Buddies we had a special guest, C's Mom and two small snakes.  The students were given a brief overview of snakes, had all their questions answered by C, and had lots of up and close time with the snakes (if they wanted)  Thanks to C and his mom.   It was amazing.

Have a great weekend everyone.  S have a great time in Disneyland next week.
