On Monday, students were given a 'Kindness Challenge' which will take us up to the December break.  Each day students should try to attempt a random act of kindness to help people, the earth, or other living things. 

This week students finished up their perspective writing.  All the students wrote their own book from a character's perspective.  They summarized the story in beginning, middle, and end.  Students also wrote in first person writing and focused on adjectives to make their writing more descriptive.  

​

Swimming starts next week on Wednesday!  The next classes will be Wednesday, November 30th, and Friday, December 2nd.  We will continue the Wednesday/Friday classes until Friday, February 3rd.  


​

The PTO is sponsoring a book fair on November 22 and 23 with the proceeds going to our ASW library.  All elementary students will have the chance to attend the book fair with their class. We will have a wide variety of books available including picture books, easy readers, fiction, non-fiction, and popular series. There will be many children’s books in the 15 to 50 PLN price range, with some more or less expensive depending on the vendor. Volunteers will be on hand to help the children choose books and figure out money.

​Extending our understanding of communication without language, we made our own symbols which connect and are useful in many cultures.  

In Math, we reviewed time and explored how we could use our understanding of multiplication to figure out elapsed time. 

Fun with story cubes!!

We learned how to use Explain Everything to make our own teaching video which explains how multiplication and division are connected. 

Request for Holiday Decorations!
After school on Thursday, December 1st we will be decorating the classroom for the holidays.  There are many things to celebrate this December; if you have any decorations which will help to celebrate an event which is important to your family, please send them in with your child and we will gladly put them up in the classroom.  All decorations will be returned in January. 

HAPPY FRIDAY!!!
