Learning to look at Remembrance Day

Today we began talking about and making connecting to Remembrance Day. We read a fantastic book called 'Why?' by Nicolai Popov. It introduced students to the idea of war and how simple disagreements and arguments can escalate into large scale war.  We will continue our talk about Remembrance Day this week. We will also take time on Friday to participate in a special Remembrance Day ceremony.


3 Things We Learned Today:
1. "In Music we sang Many Soldier's Died and we practiced The Last Post." A.Z. and A.C.
2."In Writer's Workshop we learned about climbing stories and we read the story WHY?" A.C.
3. "In Gym we played basketball and my team won." J.T.

Reminders:
1. Fun lunch this week.
2. Please dress for the weather tomorrow. We are going and will be spending time outside. It is supposed to be quite chilly first thing in the morning. Please also pack a sufficient lunch for your child tomorrow.
