Daily Update:
We began our day with morning announcements. Our spelling word was “Invictus” from yesterday’s reading. Do you remember what the Invictus Games are? For our Show Not Tell, we used “He was slow.” We completed our Haggerty listening activities, doodled a Remembrance Day scene, and watched a quick video on the significance of the poppy. During Literacy rotations, some students chose the word search and code breaker from their Legion newspaper as part of today’s Work on Writing.

After Recess:
Our K-3 students gathered in the classroom for Remembrance Day practice. We went over our song lineup and sorted our positions on the risers by height. After practicing the lyrics, everyone felt more confident for Thursday’s performance. Tomorrow, we’ll have a full dress rehearsal to make sure even the adults are ready! We watched a video about the poppy and read from The One and Only Ivan. Ivan seems to be hatching a plan to get Ruby to the zoo, inspired by a commercial he saw on TV. Let’s see if he can pull it off!

After Lunch:
We had Guidance with Mrs. Robichaud and worked on our “My First Safety Book.”

PE:
Indoor Soccer Baseball is quickly becoming a favorite activity, and today was no exception!

End of Day:
After PE, the K-1 students joined us to practice our Remembrance Day songs. Tomorrow will be a full school dress rehearsal. We wrapped up the day by filling out our Home to School books and enjoyed some free choice time. Everyone pitched in to tidy up the classroom, which was wonderful to see! Just a reminder: there is no school this Friday for teacher meetings. This week is flying by!

Picture of the Day:
I told students they could work on their Remembrance Day word search wherever they were most comfortable. Some definitely felt most comfortable taking charge of the room!
