This Week at School

Bryan - We finished our End of the World Pumpkin. 
Simon - We all drew our own design onto a paper pumpkin.  Then we chose 2 pumpkins that we liked by putting a sticker on 2 papers.  The paper with the most stickers was Bryan's design. 
Kaelyn - Bryan's design was the most difficult one so he had to draw it on the pumpkin.
Charlie - We took turns with a group to paint the rest.
Tobe - We saw the other classes designs as well. 

Our class visited the Weaselhead Flats for a field trip!
Maguire, Megan, and Tobe were saw the animals that they are researching (a spider, beaver, and muskrat).

(This is as far as we got with the students here - the rest is completed by Ms. Rutland!)

In math, we looked at building a number with place value blocks 2 different ways.  Check Iris for a photo and explanation from your child's work.

Our research into animals in the Weaselhead is progressing.  Students will be building a mask of their animal with our Artist-in-Residence beginning on Monday. 
We still require 1 volunteer for October 23 and 2 volunteers for October 26th.  The rest of our days are covered - thank you!
Sketching the View!
What lives in here?



There is a lot of construction in the distance!

This Week At School

Charlie - next week we will be carving or painting the pumpkin for the Sobey's display.  We still need to decide on our design.
Bryan - next Thursday is our class trip to the Weaselhead Flats.
Ava - we have chosen an animal to research.  The animal must live in the Weaselhead.  We will look for the animal that we have researched.
Hadley - We wrote about Terry Fox's life and what he's done.
Tobe - We drew a map of our classroom and learned about different kinds of maps.
Sidney - In math, we have started to learn about place value.
Maguire - We played "Beat My Number."  There is hundreds, tens, and ones and you try to build the highest number (ask me how to play!) Kaden's strategy is to put the 9's in the hundreds place!
Bryan - We had picture day!  They will come home in couple weeks.
Ava - we started learning about "Thick" and "Thin" questions.
Kaelyn - in Edward Tulane, he has turned into 4 different characters: Edward, Susanna, Malone, and now he is Jangles.
There were no Friday journals this week.

There is no school on Monday!  Have a good long weekend!
