Highlights
The grade 4 classes led a Remembrance Day assembly.  We also worked with Mrs. Fitzpatrick to complete poppy art in our creative journals. 

On Wednesday we had a lock-down practice and today there was a fire drill.  Students also completed their spelling quizzes.  In Math, we will be focusing on mental math strategies to add numbers, so we do not have to rely on counting with our fingers or using a number chart.

We finished reading the novel “Dolphins at Daybreak” which included information about the coral reef, octopuses, sharks, and clams.  Then we practiced drawing octopuses and sharks while watching instructional videos called Art for Kids.

Don’t forget that tonight is the Grade 2 movie night if you bought tickets in advance.
