Happy Halloween!

Thanks so much to Quinn, Lachlan, Kevin and Sam's moms for coming in on Tuesday for our Pumpkin Math!  We estimated, measured, and weighed pumpkins.  We also counted the seeds from our three different pumpkins and found that we had a lot of seeds!  The students discovered different strategies for counting the seeds - tallies, by 1's, 2's, 5's but later discovered that 10's were one of the best ways! 

Ms. Damoc is our new student teacher and has spent her week with us, we are lucky that she will be joining Division 7 for most of November. 

We started new exploration stations and for our art station we are painting Remembrance Day pictures.  We learned about perspective and how to paint so the image has depth.  At Science we are experimenting what sinks and what floats.

Next week I will be adding books to each child's Just Right Reading bag and there will also be a letter explaining this in more detail.

Book Fair has arrived at Fairview.  We had a sneak peak today and it will be open for purchases next week.

Skating!  Please mark your calendar for skating on Nov. 17 afternoon.  A notice will be sent out soon but we will need parent drivers and volunteers to help with this field trip.  Thanks in advance.

Everyone's costumes looked great today and the parade went very well!   It was super to see so many parents there!  Hope everyone has a safe and Happy Halloween!
