Hello families and friends,

Today we started our day with the book "How Cold Was It?", and talked about "triple scoop words".  These are more interesting and exciting ways to say our common words like "good", "big", and "hungry".  In the comments below, post a "single scoop word" with a "triple scoop word" for it.  Then we started some work on descriptive writing by coming up with "triple scoop words" to describe what a dog looks like, what it does, and how it acts.  Then we continued practicing our Read to Self and Read to Someone skills.  We ended our morning with our words of the week.  They are "cold", "winter", "mittens", "tuque", "snow", and "boots".  Can you make a sentence that uses all six words of the week?  In the afternoon we started with our calendar work, then started looking at our doubles facts in math.  We also learned a new math game, Doubles Go Fish.  For this game, the students have to ask for the card that is the answer to their number sentence, or the number sentence that makes their answer.  After that we watched a video on migration, and started a writing page explaining what migration is and showing three animals that migrate.  We ended our day with our stick handling skills in gym and practicing our Christmas concert songs with Mrs. Redwood's and Mrs. Stols' classes.

Tickets for the Christmas concert went home today.  There are two tickets for the evening show.  The afternoon performance is open to all, space permitted.  Parent Council is asking for a donation to the Food Bank by people attending the concerts.

Have a great afternoon,
Mr. Soulliere
