Coastal Experts

Today the students explored the region of the Atlantic coast further. We compiled a list of all the animals we found through research that live in this area. Then we focused on 5 of those animals to create a sculpture from. Tomorrow morning, with the help of Mrs. Dennis, and some parent volunteers we will be creating a realistic sculpture of our animals. Stay tuned for pictures!

If you would like to send an old shirt for your child to wear during our clay sculptures, please send one in their backpack.

3 Things We Learned Today:
1. "We learned that good readers read with expression." J.H.
2.  "We learned how to draw either an orca, a grizzly bear, a puffin, a caribou and a humpback whale" N.G.
3. "In Gym we learned to chest pass and bounce pass with the basketball" S.C.



On Friday we will be having our Remembrance Day Assembly  at 11:00am. If you would like to bring a donation for a poppy, your child will discuss with you about how much they would like to bring. If you go to Scouts, Brownies or Beavers, you are welcome to wear your uniform that day.

Reminders:
1. Book orders due back no later than Friday, November 16th.
2. Cookie orders due back no later than Monday, November 19th.
3. Fun lunch this Thursday, November 8th. It is Little Caesars.

**Important Note: As part of our look at disasters and the power of movement, we will be having the students participate in a pretend disaster evacuation on Thursday morning. This will be a surprise for the students, but the intention is for them to develop empathy for people who really do experience a disaster. We are asking parents to please NOT reveal this information to their child as to help with the realness of the simulation.
We will be walking over to R.T. Alderman that morning to follow our real evacuation protocol. We will be looking at the feelings, and behaviours of what happens during a disaster. Students will be engaged in learning activities that day over at R.T. We will be returning around 11:30am. If you have any particular questions about this experience, please feel free to email me.
