Photo proofs came home today.  Be sure to check your child's backpack.  Order deadline for photos is November 8, 2016.

In literacy today, many of us wrote about Halloween.  We continue to work on writing in complete sentences, using appropriate capitalization and punctuation.  Thank you to the students who take the risk during our writing assignments to orally share their work with the rest of class.  This helps us to edit our work for errors we may have missed.

We began to explore French words for various items around the class.  Feel free to ask me if I remember how to say pencil, desk and eraser.

Grade 3 students began the Numeracy component of their SLA's today.  Grade 4's had the opportunity to explore the math game Prodigy.  Ask me to show you Prodigy.

We also made a connection to a Global Calgary news piece on the new bylaws that began today that encourage businesses in Calgary to divert much of their garbage from our landfills.
Here is a link to the story.
