Happy Fall!

Hope you all enjoyed your Thanksgiving long weekend and spent some quality time with family and friends. As you can see from the picture above, we are welcoming the fall in our classroom and have made some wonderful turkey decorations.

Last week was very busy and the students deserve a big pad on the back for developing some good work habits and becoming more mindful of transitions during instructional time. With thirty students, we found out that it is very important to keep the noise level down, which helps everyone to stay focused and concentrate. In Math, we have looked at strategies of mental math to solve multiple-digit multiplication problems, and this week we are reviewing multiplication of two and three digit numbers. There will be a math test, probably on Thursday of this week. The students finished their beautiful heart maps, which are now displayed in our classroom. Please stop by if you get a chance and peek into the hearts of Division 1 boys and girls!

Last Friday, we were very excited to meet with our little buddies, Mrs. Verdel's Grade 2 class. We baked some very yummy apple crisp with them and it was great to see our very responsible students take the lead and assist our younger students with this project. We hope to do more buddy activities with the Grade 2 class in the future! Please remember that this Friday is a Pro-D day. Also, remember to return the signed Field Trip Permission Form (lavender) back to the school as soon as possible.
