We had a presentation by Mary from Scientists in Schools on Light and Shadow.  We got to try different centers to refract and reflect light,  and we got to play with periscopes!
We worked on subtraction with regrouping up to numbers to 10,000. Students need to practice their basic facts in addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. Students who are fluent and comfortable with their basic facts are more successful when completing questions with multiple regrouping steps.
We had our first session with Ryan Jason Allen Willert, the Indigenous knowledge keeper who is our artist in residence. Ask me about the 4 buffalo teachings!
On Friday afternoons we are participating in various groups to prepare for the musical “The Show Must Go On.”  There are groups involved in dance, video production, comedy, choir and instruments. Ask me what group I am in! The musical will be performed two evenings in December. 

 We wish you all a safe and enjoyable Thanksgiving weekend!

We are starting our second workbook Jump Math 4.2 next week! -We are continuing to recognize acts of kindness around the classroom. We completed a circle of courage and shared the qualities we need most in a friend. -Thank you for all the effort you put in to help your child plan and build a self propelled car. We saw many great looking models today!  If your child forgot their car or hasn’t completed it please bring it in on Monday as we will be testing them then. Reminders: -Skating is next week!
