Happy Thanksgiving!

Good Evening Parents! 

I would like to wish all of you a very happy and relaxing Thanksgiving weekend! I hope it is filled with family, happiness and love. Please remember that there is no school tomorrow, and winter uniforms come into effect on Tuesday! Students must wear their long sleeve dress shirt, tie and blazer!

UOI: Our first UOI is coming to an end. Students have been sent home with their summative task. Please review the task with the kids and sign the first page of the task. We will be starting it next week.

Today we compared the similarities and difference between the American and Canadian Thanksgiving. We read a story called "Two Thanksgiving" and looked at a poster that gave us more information about how the two thanksgivings differ. While reading the story students were able to see that they think before, during and after they listen or read stories. We used our comprehension strategies and visualized the story to better understand it.

Please have the children reread the information on the Physical Regions in Canada that can be found in their Green UOI folders.  See below for a practice quiz.

Spelling:Lesson will resume on Tuesday. Spelling lesson 5 and our spelling test will be on Friday

Language: Next week we will be working on writing paragraphs with details, so we can write our reports and complete our OWA assessment in the coming weeks.

For reading, Students are asked to read a book over the weekend and write me a short letter about what they thought about while they read. Students have an example in their yellow folders, as well as different comprehension strategies they can use while they read.

French: No Spelling test this week.

Music: Students are asked to use their white music folders to review musical notes and practice their recorders. Please return these folders daily.

Anne of Green Gables: We did not read any Anne of Green Gables today.

The little turkeys had a little treat in class to celebrate Thanksgiving!
