In Social Studies we learned about our final community, Meteghan. We learned that it has cliffs, is by the Atlantic Ocean and has some trees and rocks. We will soon compare all 3 communities and discuss and express the differences we see between all three.

In Math, we learned about Place Value. We are learning about the tens and ones place. We used base ten blocks and practiced this skill.

We were also introduced to our first Daily 5 centre time today.
We have 5 different centres:
ABC ipads - which includes playing Literacy games in a designated spot on the ipad
Printing - Star Student sentences are created during this time.
Listen to Reading - Raz Kids is used for students to listen to their level of reading!
Read to Someone - students read with one or two partners and quietly read to each other - we will continue to work on the quiet part each day :)
Word Work - We have a variety of games for students to play with that help with reading. Today students played a game called POP, Bang and did some printing practice.

It was a great day!

For the month of December we will be working on serving other people. We will come up with many ideas to help us show a giving heart. If you have any ideas or would like to contribute, please let us know.

We are also looking for Calgary Postcards to mail to 13 communities across Canada as part of a Social Studies project. We will also need stamps for these. A paper note will be sent home soon.

Oh also, send in Headphones for your child to use during centres.
