  Hello Families, On November 10 we will be celebrating Remembrance Day. We will be having a short video assembly on that day. Remembrance Day is a day where we mark the sacrifice of the many who have fallen in the service of their country, and to acknowledge the courage of those who still serve.   One of the most important things to remember is that many of those who served were not much older than a grade 9 student. Some of these men and women left high school and university to fly planes and man warships. Many stormed beaches, and fought in bunkers, and many did not make it to the age of 21.  They had bright futures, but they left the excitement, promises of graduation and sharing good times at home to serve. They understood that this would put their lives at risk, but they went anyway.  They left family and friends, jobs and schools...and off they went.   Remembrance Day is the time to honor those who have left homes and family and friends, and those who hav...

 Hello families,  This week we have been doing a pumpkin study. In writing and science we are learning to use sentence starters and our senses to add detail to our writing. We touched, smelt, looked, heard and tasted pumpkin seeds. Then we wrote about what we felt, heard, tasted ect.  In math we have been learning to count to 100. We took out our pumpkin seeds and counted them on the number line to see how many seeds each pumpkin had.  In Art, we have been focusing on texture we painted our pumpkins to go into the class pumpkin patch and we also did a drawing and sketch of our pumpkins. We were able to bring everything we have learned together to study these pumpkins.  Have a wonderful weekend.  Ms. Youngblood
