study provinces on map – the map of Canada can be found in their agenda on page R11 – Part of next week’s spelling test will be done on a blank map of Canada where students will need to put the names of the provinces and territories in the proper places with proper spelling. They have already had the provinces and territories, a few at a time, for spelling words so they should already be able to spell them. Ask your child how they can use “You're Not That Nice” & “Bobby Ate Some Meatballs On Quebec” to help them put the territories and provinces, west of Ontario, in their proper place. 

Phys. Ed 

red duo-tang - Complete all worksheets. 

cursive writing 

sign spelling test - We will be continuing to do review tests over the next few weeks so students should be studying any words they had difficulty with on previous tests.

study for spelling test  - These words can be found down the right hand side of the teachers page under pages. They only have 5 new words this week so I will be calling 10 review words.  

Phys. Ed 

prepare binder to pass in – see October  I will be collecting the binders over the week-end, marking Octobers entries and Novembers to date. These pages should be in order and completed. I will continue to post the PowerPoints on the class page. The current month is always a working document and tends to change as we go depending on what I determine to be group needs.

November 9 

  • Read & Record  

  • Study new spelling words – I will check that they recorded the words correctly when I pass back the agendas tomorrow. Copying from the board is a skill that is still important, and we will continue to record them in this way until all students have mastered the skill. If you notice an error in what your child recorded please feel free to help them to fix it.  

  • October story – quotations – This will be the last thing we will revise on this piece. We will be finishing it up tomorrow. Some students have asked if they can work on their writing from home and I told them that is great if they have access to a computer. 

  • Poppy donation 

  • Wear black, white and/or red  - we will be having a virtual ceremony tomorrow but some of the students wanted to dress-up anyway out of respect for those who have served our country and those who still do. This is not necessary 

  • We started drawing poppies today with the help of an on-line video. Students are doing a beautiful job. This is the site if students want to try again at home. This is a great activity for paying attention to detail and following instruction. The instruction on this video as with many of the how to draw video’s is completely visual.
