Wow! It's November already!

Hello Everyone!  We have been very busy learning and having fun.  Since the Halloween Parade on Oct 31, we have learned about Indigenous Veteran's Day, memorized a musical version of the "In Flanders Fields" poem and presented our learning about the Coast Salish Anthem to the school for our Remembrance Day Assembly today.  We received our first postcard from a class in Toronto who is also reading "A Rover's Story, " as part of the Global Read Aloud.

In Science we are working on a Unit, "Sensing and Responding."  So far, we tried to determine how much our nose, knows.  In Social Studies, we were reading about some of the contributions of Indigenous Veterans.  Also, we have been using resources from the First Nation's Caring Society to learn about Jordan's Principle and how kids can make a difference, no matter how small.

We have started to meet with our Kindergarten Buddies.  We are practicing our oral reading and leadership skills.  Being a Big Buddy is a lot of fun and we are really showing a lot of kindness and caring when we meet with Ms. Dunbar's class.

In Math, we practiced the traditional algorithms for addition and subtraction of multidigit numbers and worked on our addition and subtraction fact fluency.  We also played with patterns, and input & output machines, Algebra, here we come!

Congratulations to Scarlett for winning the Diwali Writing Contest put on by the Port Moody Museum.  Scarlett will be turning on the winter lights at the Museum to mark the start of Diwali on Sunday, November 12 at 6:30 pm.  The POMO Museum would like to invite families to come and experience the magic.  There will be a Hot Chocolate reception on the 1921 train car afterwards.
