November 17

What a wonderful day.  Tomorrow we have a very special event planned.  Hawk the Calgary Police therapy dog will be coming to visit us tomorrow at the end of the day.  Soooo excited!  Also, tomorrow is fun lunch.

Grade ones received a book called Mr. Zinger's Hat.  This is part of the TD Grade One book giveaway program.  School photos were sent home today as well.

Mr. S has been working very hard on our writing skills.  We have been adding sound and feeling words to our stories.  Tomorrow we will begin to talk about "juicy words" and how to add them to our stories as well.

In math we have been working very hard on measuring all kinds of things around our classroom.  This is a lot of hands on fun.

In Social Studies we have started talking about the groups that we belong to and have represented this in our visual journals.

I showed the class a new app today that helps them learn their phone number and practice calling 911.  The app is free and is called DialSafe Pro.  

Landyn says if you want to measure something at home you can measure anything.  Mathew thinks he may try and measure his dog.  This should be an adventure.
