Hello families and friends,

Today we started with working on our Read to Self and Read to Someone skills.  We picked cards and half of the group worked on Read to Self and half of the group worked on Read to Someone, then we switched.  After that we worked on a couple calming exercises; the Hot Chocolate Trick, and using our senses to imagine our Happy Place.  How do these exercises help us?  Post your answer in the comments below.  We finished off our morning by continuing work on our measurement activity that we started yesterday.

In the afternoon we worked on the /qu/ sound.  A lot of students were having a hard time finding their materials, so we spent some time after cleaning up the room.  We found lots of pencils and colours that had made their way into the wrong bins or under furniture!  Then we worked on sorting our classroom library.  The students really enjoyed this.  After that we talked about "walking" and "climbing" stories.  What is the difference between a "walking" and "climbing" story?  In gym we worked on our soccer skills.

I hope to see you all tonight at the Family Math Night.  There will be lots of math games to see and learn.

Tomorrow night is the Halloween Howler.  If you have sent in an order form and have not received your tickets they should be here tomorrow to send home.

Have a wonderful Wednesday,
Mr. Soulliere
