Hi families of room 18!
Today we spent some time reflecting on Remembrance Day. We looked at a website at the end of the day that has been designed by Telus that lists the names of 117 000 Canadian veterans and donates $5 to the Royal Canadian Legion once you've scrolled through the whole list. It was a very powerful discussion and students were very interested to see if their family names were listed on the website. I told them that I would the provide the website to families in the blog tonight in case they would like to share it with you:

This morning we had some science review to see how ready students are for a science test. We will be continuing with some review prior to the test, but the test date has not been set as we are still trying to figure out our schedule now that Ms. Ryan is with us. After recess we began creating our Remembrance Day wreath and almost finished it but will need to add a few more poppies prior to it being finished.
During the afternoon, we spent some time getting to know our new guided reading books and then had the challenge of solving as many contractions in 15 minutes as we could. Many students were able to accurately solve all 36 contractions on the board and describe how the patterns helped solve them. Students then got to play fitness monopoly in gym with Mr. Sadowski.
Have a great night!
