T.W.A.S. (This Week At School...)
Congratulations to Grace Hutchinson and Hunter Rowbotham on being recognized for the character trait of Co-operation at our assembly this week!
Well we started our "Holes" novel study this week and the kids are super excited. One of my favourites for sure! They are to read Chapter #4 on their own this weekend. Again, if they ever forget their book at school, they can access it here (I encourage reading the text as opposed to listening to the audio).

We will be focusing on the setting and developing character profiles this week.
We have wrapped up our Data Management unit. They will complete a culminating task where they are to sort their Halloween candy into categories, tally them, and then return with their results on Monday to compare with a partner and finally, create a double bar graph of the two sets of data. They will then have their unit test on Tuesday. Later in the week we will be starting our next unit, Patterning.
The Grade 4s have begun to present their Provinces/Territories research and so far, I have been thoroughly impressed with the efforts they have put into their slides. They are taking some time and I hope to get the rest completed next week.
The Grade 5s have been researching past Prime Ministers in Social Studies and will be creating "trading cards" to share with each other. They are due this coming Thursday. They will also be writing a quiz on Wednesday on what we have learned thus far in regards to the federal level of government and our recent election. A "What to Study" tip sheet was given out this week.
Good luck to the Junior Boys and Girls Basketball teams next week as we compete in our season-ending tournaments!
