Hello families and friends,

This morning we started with some Read to Self and Read to Someone.  In gym we did some exercises with drum sticks and the exercise balls.  Ask your child about this.  Then we went to the Learning Commons and Ms. Michele, from the Calgary Zoo, talked with us about animals and plants.  After that we went outside and we looked for alive things and things that animals need to survive winter.

This afternoon we did the words of the week.  For grade ones these are "one", "for", "said" and "was".  For grade twos these are "friend", "out", "she" and "his".  Ask your child what they did for this.  After this we did some writing about our weekends.  Then we finished the day with some science.  Ask your child what we talked about.

Lola has joined our classroom!

In two weeks we will be going on our field trip to the Science Centre.  We are still looking for some volunteers to help out with this.  If you would be able to come for the day on Tuesday, November 25th, please email Mr. Soulliere at <gasoulliere@cbe.ab.ca>.  That Wednesday, the 26th, is also Fun Lunch.

What kind of food do Lola's crickets eat?  Post your answer in the comments below.

Have a wonderful Wednesday, 
Room 74 and Mr. Soulliere
