Monday

Hi parents,

We had a good Monday today, as usual.

In the morning, the students wrote in their journals, practiced the new spooky spelling words, and worked on our weekly math problems. This is going to be our last week working exclusively on subtraction, so I've given the class some pretty difficult problems. 

The students seemed to really enjoy Music class today! They were singing the Halloween songs all morning while they worked.

In the afternoon, we had Daily 5, recess, and Gym, and after that, we got to do a quick, fun, 'science' activity. For this activity, the students got to taste-test roasted pumpkin seeds, and come up with four adjectives to describe the flavour. Answers ranged from "exquisite" to "too salty", all the way to "disgusting". 

We did a survey afterwards and found that 17 students thought the seeds tasted good, while only 5 thought they were bad. 

Halloween Parade / Celebration - Thursday, October 31

Here are some things to know:

1. Students do not wear their costumes all day. They are asked to change into their costumes at lunch time!

2. The parade starts at 1:00, and parents are welcome to come and watch in the gym.

3. Snacks / Halloween treats are welcome! If you are sending snacks, please send enough for all 22 of the kids in our classroom.  :)

Have a great evening,

Zac
