Thursday, November 4

 Hi parents,

It was a crazy day in Room 4, I'm sure the students are feeling as exhausted as I am.

There were still some shining moments though - in the morning, we read "In Flanders Fields" together as a class, and learned a bit about the author, John McCrae. The students used tissue paper and construction paper to decorate borders for the poem, which they glued into their sketchbooks. We listened to some Remembrance Day favourites, such as 'Highway of Heroes' and 'A Pittance of Time'.

The students got choose between 3 moustache themed writing prompts:

-Write about someone you know who has a moustache

-Write about what you would do if you had a moustache

-Write about a time you wore a disguise

We went to the library to use magnifying glasses to look at some artifacts. It was got pretty loud and unruly and we had to come back and do mindfulness. The afternoon was pretty similar, we attempted to clean the classroom but it was more of a party than a cleanup. We had some nice Daily 5 time, and then when it was time for gym we had a surprise fire drill. After recess it was Music.

Tomorrow is our spelling quiz, good luck!

Have a nice night,

Zac
