We worked on our detail webs in writing today, and practiced turning those details into a story.  In math today we introduced an open number line and worked on placing numbers between 1 - 100.   In the afternoon we practiced our remembrance day songs with Mrs. McCarthy in Music, and writing with Mrs. MacIssac.  Remember to study your words tomorrow for our spelling test.  Have a good night and get lots of rest!

Hello everyone.  What a windy day it is out there!  We had a special guest come in today to see how Miss Gallant is doing with her teaching skills.  Her name was Mrs. Jonas.  We were all very well behaved and Miss Gallant did well also!  Today in Language Arts we worked on building muscle in our stories and we als learned three different ways you can Read to Someone.  Boys and girls, do you remember the three ways you can read to someone? (Check for Understanding, I read You read and, Read two different books).  Talk to your family about the three ways. We made masks in Art class today they were awesome! Stay tuned for a picture of all us wearing our masks!  Have a good night girls and boys, get lots of sleep!

  A very busy day for my first day back.  The Interim reports are in the blue folders.  Our first homework sheet for October is in the green books.  In math today we took our first look at a place value chart and explored the difference between a digit and number.  All numbers are made up of digits.  Do remember how many digits there are? (Look at a phone if your having trouble).  In language arts we worked on our buddy reading and reviewed Narratives and Biographies.  Remember Friday is the Heritage Fair, so our spelling test will be on Monday.  Have a great night and get lots of sleep.

 Hello everyone, today we had a long day as it was raining outside and we did not get a chance to go outside and burn off some of our energy! We hope it does not rain tomorrow.  Today in math class we worked on increasing patterns and did ten multiple choice questions together on the smart board.  In language arts classwe learned about comprehension. Do you remember what comprehension is? (it means checking for understanding). We also read another chapter in our book The Mouse and the Motorcycle. Do you think he and Keith will ever find the motorcycle again?  Tomorrow is going to be a very busy day.  We have a special guest coming to our class tomorrow and it is picture day, (don't forget your smiles!) It is also hot lunch tomorrow.  We will be having Ed Sub's turkey sandwiches. See you tomorrow!

  Another busy day. I always tell the students that I love making mistakes because its how we learn.  I made a big mistake today when I was trying to update our green homework books and ended up making a royal mess of them all... so no calendar work tonight.  SORRY!! Even the teacher makes mistakes.  In math today we reviewed Attributes, repeating and increasing patterns, and talked about our "Counting on" strategy on our number lines for when we play " Around the World" with flash cards.   We reviewed the 5 parts of a narrative in Language Arts, and Mr. Lange took us on a virtual tour of the worlds largest pillow fight!  Our borrow a book program starts tomorrow night so please check the book bags tomorrow for leveled reading books (I'll talk about that more in Thursday's Agenda Note).  ON A SIDE NOTE - Despite today being an overall very good day, unfortunately I had a couple of upset students at the end of the day today.  Even though we are still learning the classroom routines many of us are finding it difficult to distinguish between finishing our work and playing, and finishing our work and choosing a responsible choice.   It is now the third week of school and we have talked about responsible choices and not making noise when others are working or when the teacher is talking.  Since our transitions wasted so much time today we will have to practice for the first 5 minutes of recess tomorrow.  For those who are upset, remember even if you understand you need to give a friendly reminder to a classmate!  We win as a team! 

Hello everyone, happy Monday. We had a great today. Mr. McCallum went on Skype today and talked to his brother Chris who lives all the way over in Beijing, China!!! It was amazing. He picked up his computer and showed us his school.  Chris even showed us the gym which was bigger than some of our houses! We also got to ask him a few questions. Do you remember how to say hello in Chinese? Mr. McCallum talked about increasing patterns or growing patterns today.  They are a little bit difficult to understand so we will continue to work on them. We also continued to read The Mouse and the Motorcycle.  We are on chapter 4. We dicussed how to make connections when we are reading. There are still some parents who have not sent in the $12 student fee required here at Ian Baillie.  If you have not sent it in please do so as soon as possible.  Spelling tests went home today to be signed as well as a new list. Do you remember what we did in art class today?
