Terrific Thursday!

Polar Expressions:

These are optional. Students also have the option to choose between creating a short story or a poem. If you are submitting your son/daughters work on your own, they are due November 28th. If you would like me to submit them, please bring them in by November 18th.

Remembrance Day:


On November 7, the student council is having a contest. Students from each grade are to recite a part from the poem “In Flanders Field.” The top two students from each grade will be chosen to recite the poem in front of the school and also get the chance to win house points. Students have the choice if they want to participate in this contest. I have highlighted the part that is to be memorized.

We began the day have Art with Mr. Monaghan and physical education with Ms. Jaskolka and Ms. DaCosta.

Afterwards, students created their own advertisement for a teddy bear. We first looked at three print advertisements to help us know the best way to persuade someone to buy the bear. We also learned that

Sometimes we are being told what to do:
Coke advertisement
Sometimes we are being told what to think:
Mcdonalds advertisement.

Sometimes, there is more then one message like buy McDonalds and Coca Cola:
Mcdonalds advertisement

When making our advertisements, we kept in mind the techniques we are going to use, the purpose of our advertisement, and the message.

In math, we created clocks so they can help us understand time better.

After first recess and lunch we had French. When students returned, they wrote their homework in their agendas and then completed unfinished work from the week.

During second lunch we practiced our 2 and 3 times table. Watch us do the 2:

After second recess and lunch, we completed our letters to ourselves; we finished our advertisements from this morning; we drew pictures of ourselves for our letters; we completed our poppies; we worked in our cursive books. We had a great catch up period!
