Nov. 10

 Hello everyone,

We started our day with some partner reading. We had our morning meeting to talk more about Remembrance Day, the significance of poppies, and learn more about what the assembly was going to look like. 

We practiced a letter sound game together as a class before it was time to eat snack. We had an indoor recess so that we wouldn't miss the start of our assembly. 

Mr. Wien's hosted a lovely assembly. Ms. Austin told us some stories about the courage and bravery shown by 3 different Indigenous soldiers during her acknowledgement of the land. Mr. Hebert shared his opening message and then 2 of our friends got to carry our wreath out to the learning commons to be placed with our flags.

We listened as Mrs. Anderson read us a story called The Eleventh Hour and the grade 3s read the poem In Flander's Fields. Then, we all stood and sang Highway of Heroes together. We had a moment of silence while Mr. Wien's played "The Last Post" on his trumpet, and then sang Oh Canada together. 

We watched closely so we could see our friends place our wreath!


When the assembly was over, it was lunch time! After lunch we had our daily mindfulness time, then we worked on signing into Mathletics on our own. Once we signed in, we completed some activities about ordering numbers. 

After our second recess, we reviewed everything we had learned about sense of taste and introduced our next sense - hearing. We began by watching a video that helped explain what sound is. We used a noise meter on the SmartBoard to help us "see" sound and begin to understand how our ears can hear things. We will be continuing with this study next week.
