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?

Hello everyone, happy Thursday! Today we had show and tell.  It was an exciting morning with lots of interesting things to see.  We had a parrot, dogs, kittens, some cool toys, homemade crafts, hockey cards, even an I Pad! Mr. McCallum read a story Clara and the Bossy today and showed the class how we can make connections to the stories we read. Ask your child if they made a connection to the story. There will be a spelling test tomorrow on the list words from your green homework folder. Don't forget to get lots of rest tonight and we will see you in the morning!

Hello everyone! Today in our homework folder you will see many memo's to look at. Also there is a green homework duo tang in your child's folder.  One assignment is to be completed each night with your child.  It should not take any more than 10 minutes to complete.  This goes along with the 10 minutes of reading each night for a total of 20 minutes of homework. This homework folder must be returned each day so we can do a quick check to see how everyone is doing.  We learned about increasing patterns, do you remember what those are?   See if you can figure out the rule of this increasing pattern and what number comes next.  (2,4,6,8,10,?,?,?).  Meet the Teacher is tomorrow at 6:30 and we also have hot lunch.  See you tomorrowB&G's!
