Today the students are bringing home their Read-A-Thon packages.  Please decide with your child on an appropriate amount of time that your child will read for each day.  Students are encouraged to find people to pledge them and the amount of money they raise will go toward our Learning Commons.

Kindness Kids, find your favorite reading spot in your house and tweet a picture of you reading using the #ehshowweread

Tuesday - DEAR Day - Drop Everything And Read 
You can bring your favorite book from home if you would like!

Wednesday - Bring a book you have practiced reading and you can sit in the teacher chair and read to the class.  Please make sure it's a book that can be read in 5 minutes or less.

Thursday - Dress up as your favourite book character.  Don't forget to bring in your $6 if you'd like to have your photo taken in your costume.  Make sure you bring your book too!  Please don't go out and buy a new costume, see if you can make your own!  Feel free to use Ignite time to make your costume

Today the students started their first rotation of their addition and subtraction math strategies.  We will be doing this for the next few months.  These groups include the doubles, near doubles, fact families, making 10, and problem solving.

As a part of the Kindness initiative, the students created multi media artwork based on work by Jim Dine.

Today one of the literacy groups read a book about kindness and then recalled all of the ways the story showed kindness and wrote about it in their journal.

The Zoo group was asked the question, "Why do we have zoos?".  The students came up with many reasons why zoos exist and what they like to do when they go to the zoo.

The Glenbow Museum group looked at artifacts and sketched mystery objects.  The students described the objects they were studying.

Here is an updated version of the Open Minds sign up.  There was an error on one of the Glenbow Museum dates.  Thank you for fixing this, Ashely!

Please return your Big Box of Cards forms and if you are not going to keep your box of cards please return it in the bag it came in with the student's name.

No school Friday.  This is a PD day for teachers.

Today the students started to explore magnets.  Look around your house and see if you can locate items that will attract to a magnet.  Make sure you stay away from electronics!  

In math today, the students further explored even and odd numbers through games and stories.  Here's a challenge, if you double any number, what do you notice a out even and odd numbers?
