What does peace feel like?

**There is no school on Monday November 11

**Book Orders were sent home today. They are due on Friday November 15

Our poem this week was all about poppies. We learned a lot about Remembrance Day and why we honor this very special occasion. This week, some of us attended our very first Remembrance Day Assembly. Ask me to tell you about it.

We have been talking about what peace is: what it sounds like, tastes like, feels like, smells like and what it looks like. We made poppies using potatoes! Ask me to tell you how I created my poppies. I cannot wait to share these with you as well as my writing at Parent Teacher Conferences in a couple of weeks.

In Science, we continue to take a closer look at animal behvaiors and what they do in the fall. We learned a big science word "adaptation" and "camouflage". Ask me to tell you what this means and how snowshoe hares adapt to the changing seasons. We did some art to represent our learning.

This week was Cade's 7th birthday and Mrs. Ly delievered our special cards to him at his birthday party. We were very excited to see his photos and that we were able to connect to Cade this way and make him feel extra special on his birthday. His most recent card number update is 930 cards! Wow!

Have a great long weekend everyone!

Run, run, as fast as you can! You can't catch me I'm the Gingerbread man!

We had a very exciting day full of surprises! This morning as we were learning our new poem about the gingerbread man, we discovered that our gingerbread people we made on Friday ran away!! They left us a note, and we went on a gingerbread man hunt around the school! Ask me where we had to look and where we finally found them! This afternoon we went up on stage and practiced our song for our concert this week! We are so excited to show you our Sugar Plum dance. This afternoon a package came for us! It was freezing cold and had snow on it! It came all the way from the North Pole! We opened it up and it was an Elf! We will learn what our Elf's name is tomorrow! Here is our new poem of the week and our new sight words: ran, ate, eat, he, no

It is the final week before the Winter Break. Wow! We have been counting the days and today is day 69. That means we have been in grade one for 69 days of learning, fun and growing. This week, our new sight words are: who went what but so Our poem is: Our teachers are very proud of us and all the work we have been doing around our reading skills. We have been really good sight word detectives and finding them hidden in other words. Please click on the poem above and ask me to find the sight words this wee: but, so, went. I am also using the strategy Eagle Eye (looking at pictures for clues) to decode words. Ask me to tell you which word says "Christmas Tree, Reindeer, Santa, Candy Cane." We enjoyed some Festive Singing in the gym today and are working on a story map for the story "The Gingerbread Man". Today we learned what the word characters mean. There are 7 characters in the story we listened to today. Ask me to tell yo
