Daily Update:
We arrived at school to snow on the ground for the first time this season! It’s a great reminder to dress warmly for the mornings, as it’s often the coldest part of the day while we’re outside. We kicked off the day with an irregular spelling word—“Christmas.” Irregular means the letters don’t always make their usual sounds. For our Show Not Tell activity, we used “It was about to storm.” We completed our Heggerty listening drills, a reading maze, and some exercises before jumping into our Literacy rotations. Miss Brown was a guest in the classroom today, stepping in while I worked on finishing the November Recap video.

After Recess:
It was so beautiful and bright outside, making it hard to come back in! Once inside, we headed to the gym for our monthly assembly. Awards were given for attendance, and the Cub of the Month was announced. Everyone enjoyed the November Recap video and participated in a fun, school-wide game. With a few minutes to spare before lunch, we played a listening game with Jenga blocks in the classroom.

After Lunch:
We had a quick rehearsal of “Marshmallow Winter” with Mrs. Comeau and the Grade 4/5 class. Back in the classroom, we read from The One and Only Ivan. Ivan is frustrated that his plan hasn’t worked yet, even though Mack is happy about the free publicity from the billboard and increased crowds. Ruby is still at the mall, and Ivan feels his mission isn’t complete.

PE:
We had a guest today, Miss Hare! She joined us for a fun game of floor hockey using a gator skin ball. It was great having her, and we hope she visits again soon!

End of Day:
We finished the day by practicing our concert songs with the K-1 class. Everyone is working hard, and I know we’re going to deliver an amazing performance! Back in the classroom, we packed up our Home to School books, which now include a new December Calendar. A reminder: there will be no school this Friday for students, as parent-teacher interviews will be taking place.

Picture of the Day:
Everyone is ready and excited for the November Assembly!
