Daily Update:
We began our day with the morning announcements, followed by several rehearsals of our Halloween song for tomorrow’s performance. Our song will be aired on 95.9 FM Friday morning at 8:25 AM, so you can catch it even if you miss the live show tomorrow. Today’s spelling word was “Halloween,” and our Show Not Tell prompt was “She had a belly ache.” For our Haggerty session, we completed the Week 8 Tuesday listening games, and in our Doodle activity, we practiced drawing a haunted house at 1.5x speed. Our Work on Writing prompt was, “If I could invent a toy, it would be...”

Math:
The Grade 1s and 2s continued working on patterns, focusing on AB and AABB patterns and exploring new ones like ABB, AAB, and ABC, which we call the “core” of the pattern. The Grade 3s practiced modeling subtraction with two numbers.

After Lunch:
We headed straight to the gym for a final polish of our song with Mr. Whalen. We’re feeling ready! Just a couple of practice rounds tomorrow morning, and we’ll be set for the big performance in the afternoon!

PE:
For PE, we went outside to play some baseball. There was a bit of a debate over who made the best pitcher, but we all agreed the game ended in a shutout!

Day End:
To wrap up the day, we reflected in our Book of Gratitude with the prompt “My favorite memory of today was…” After ensuring all our work was complete in our morning books, we signed our Home to School books and added a Remembrance Day memo and an invitation to Fletcher’s Farm hide and seek event on Friday night. Most of us have siblings, so we extended the invite to everyone—the more, the merrier!
