Daily Update:

We started the day with morning announcements. Our bells were a bit off, which threw off our timing a few times, but we managed just fine! Our spelling word for the day was "armistice"—do you remember what that means? For our "Show, Not Tell," we had "He was dressed up" (for Remembrance Day, not Halloween!). We also completed our Haggerty listening drills, and doodled a poppy and cross. For guided reading, we used a newspaper-style article and did our Literacy rotations. The morning flew by!

After Recess:
All the classes gathered in our room for an overview of the week and a preview of the Remembrance Day program. We reminded everyone that this is one of our most serious events of the year, emphasizing that respectful behavior is expected. We practiced our songs and reviewed the program layout, and even squeezed in a bit of practice before heading to lunch.

After Lunch:
We continued reading *The One and Only Ivan*. It looks like Ivan is working on a plan to get Ruby to a zoo, thinking back on his parents’ past. It sounds like he’s also hiding a painting from Mack as part of his scheme! We also practiced our song lyrics, singing them through a few times to make sure we’re ready for Thursday's performance.

PE:
We played indoor soccer baseball today, which is great for learning the game and getting comfortable with the bases and directions. It has a lot of rules, and playing indoors made it easier to follow along while learning the basics.

End of Day:
We added a new entry to our Book of Gratitude with the prompt, “I am grateful for the way I solved a problem when…” We wrapped up by filling in our Home to School books and getting organized for the evening.

Runners in motion, and this photo is going to capture home plate action – we play soccer baseball with some serious enthusiasm!
