Daily Update:
We began our day on the mat, watching the morning announcements, and it was fun to see a few familiar faces! After a quick review of yesterday’s work, we moved on to today's spelling word, which was "National." Our "Show, Not Tell" phrase was "She was full"—perfect for the Thanksgiving lunch coming up. After playing our Heggerty listening games, we doodled another scarecrow silhouette, this time at double speed! We also completed a shorter literacy rotation to allow time for swapping out the books in our book boxes. Our writing prompt today was “My favorite thing to do on the weekend is…”. We even managed to peel the supports off our 3D prints just before break.

Math:
Grade 1 and 2 students updated the calendar and practiced showing numbers in different formats, while the Grade 3s worked on writing number words from ten to one thousand. We also did some mental math, bridging to friendly numbers. A great tech moment happened when we managed to connect the iPads to the Smartboard, allowing both groups to share their work visually!

After Lunch:
After lunch, we were excited to begin painting our 3D-printed Pikachus! Everyone got their first coat of paint on, though some were a bit heavier than others, so they'll need the weekend to dry fully. We also had a chance to check out a fun maze and math questions from the fire department. Plus, we were all thrilled to receive our very own Miramichi Junior Firefighter hats!

PE:
In PE, we continued with basketball. The class worked on dribbling, passing, and shooting skills through relay races and drills, giving everyone a good workout.

Day End:
We finished the day by writing in our Book of Gratitude, with the prompt: "I felt proud of myself when…." Afterward, we signed our Home to School books and enjoyed a few minutes of free choice time before getting ready for home. Don’t forget—the Home and School draw is tomorrow, so make sure all tickets are returned!

Picture of the Day:
A huge thank you to our amazing Home and School group at Napan Elementary! We’re so grateful for the wonderful meal you prepared for us—it was delicious, and we’re all feeling extra thankful (and full) today!
