This morning we had a lot of fun putting together dances that centred around one theme. We will be working on these dances for the next couple weeks. We also did several experiments in Science to do with INSULATORS and WATER RESISTANCE. During our reading buddies, some of us got to go to the library and do a library scavenger hunt. We started our new ACA's today as well. First up was movie club! Tomorrow is robotics and dance :)

The leadership students did a fantastic job telling us what Remembrance Day is all about, why we wear and poppy and why it is important to remember. It was a very well done assembly. In the afternoon, we signed out new books and read our books or read on Raz Kids. We wrote more about ideas after the library and planned our writing for a mini biography.

When Ms. Wright notices students doing something positive and making good choices (examples: speaking English often, helping friends, being responsible for homework, being kind and respectful etc.) she will give them a ticket. On the ticket, students write their names. At the end of the day, Ms. Wright will draw for rewards.
If we have lots of positive behaviour, she will draw lots of tickets. If we only have a couple students making good choices, she will draw only one ticket. The winner(s) will get to chose from the reward board. Rewards include: getting to use the teachers chair, no uniform for a day, an extra comic from the library, a no homework pass, show and tell and MORE!
