| Remembrance Day Assembly |
Weekly Highlights:
Students~
- learned about Remembrance Day by reading, listening and responding to non-fiction texts and worked with their Kindergarten Buddies to create a collaborative class wreath for the Remembrance Day assembly.
- worked on mental math strategies, and 3-digit and 4-digit adding with regrouping in math. Please practice this concept at home. We will begin estimating differences this coming week.
- continued learning about the writing process during our Writer's Workshop period, more specifically how to engage in peer conferencing. Next, the class will type/transfer their pet paragraphs onto a Google Document and learn more about spacing requirements (spaces after words, commas, how to capitalize, etc.) when typing on the computer. We are taking this process one step at a time, as the students learn how to navigate their new learning tools.
- enjoyed their earned board games period with Mr. Koza's Gr. 5 students as our guests. The classes had an opportunity to play a variety of board/card games and have some Oreo cookies together. What a great way to head into the weekend! Well deserved!
- learned how to select a 'good-fit' book using the I-PICK Trick. Please follow these guidelines when going to the library together and selecting books. A quick way to check if your child (c)omprehends and (k)nows most of the words is by having them read the first page of the book using the 'five-finger rule'. The children have been shown what this is. These guidelines can help you and your child select books that will improve their reading! (see chart below)
Coming Up:
- Nov. 14 - Sp. Test
- Nov. 15 - Pizza Slice orders due (online)
- Nov. 17 - Bring $1 to "Wear Your PJs/Bring a Stuffy" for the United Way fundraiser

Mrs. Aiginitis
