Daily Update:
We began our day with morning announcements. Today’s spelling word was “performance.” Our Remembrance Day presentation is tomorrow at 11:00, and families are welcome to join us. Our Show Not Tell prompt was “He liked singing.” We completed our Haggerty listening exercises, sketched a Remembrance Day scene, and practiced our songs without the vocal track. I’m confident we’ll be ready for tomorrow’s event! For our Work on Writing, we used the prompt, “In Canada, Remembrance Day is…”

After Recess:
The whole school went to the gym for a full rehearsal of our Remembrance Day program. We ran through the ceremony from beginning to end, with wonderful student MCs and some beautiful songs. We reminded everyone that this is our most serious and respectful event of the year, and they did an amazing job during practice. With a few extra minutes, we returned to the classroom and discussed the Remembrance Day poster contest, looking at some winning entries from last year for inspiration. Many students have great ideas and started working on their own posters.

After Lunch:
We continued working on our poster contest entries. A permission form went home in the Home to School Books today so students can submit their artwork if they choose.

PE:
With the weather reaching a warm 19 degrees, we took PE outside for a game of soccer. Mr. Ross had a special guest join us! Do you remember who it was? Our visitor seemed to enjoy jumping in and playing along with everyone.

End of Day:
Today, instead of our Book of Gratitude, we dedicated time to our posters. We signed our Home to School Books and enjoyed a few minutes of free choice time. Don’t forget, tomorrow is skating at the LBA at 9:00! Families are welcome to join us.
