Happy Halloween everyone! Today we did lots of Halloween related activities and we had our own little Halloween party after lunch.   There were lots of nice costumes and we had a great time.  We also visited the other grade five classrooms to show off our costumes and to see theirs! I will post  a class picture later! Be safe, and have fun tonight when you're out and about! - Ms. Doyle :)

Today we visited the grade six ICF class and they presented a Halloween play for us - "C'est l'Halloween"!  We really emjoyed that and it  seems there a lot of students who are interested in entering ICF next year! :) Sooo, Monday is Halloween so we want you to remind the children to bring their costumes for after lunch, and bring a snack or treat to share with the class if they want!  Remember - no peanuts!  :) Have a great weekend ! - Ms. Doyle!

We had a good day today!   To end the day off we spent some time with our buddy readers and helped them finish a Halloween art activity.  Mrs. McDonalds brought in some of her own books for the class to read to their buddies, so our afternoon was very exciting! We have been forgetting to write on the board to remind them about bringing in their own books for buddy reading, but  we will try our best to remember from now on. - Ms. Doyle :)

Today in math we did some work with blank cheques and the kids seemed to really enjoy that.  It was fun pretending that we had the amount of money that was written on our cheques!  We used this to help with learning how to add and subtract decimals, and it is always good to learn how to use math in a practical way! - Ms. Doyle :)

Today we started some Halloween related activities!  We did a Halloween reading comprehension about Trick-or-Treating and we reviewed some French Halloween vocab.  We have lots of other Halloween activities planned for the rest of the week, so I think we're going to have a spookishly awesome time! :) - Ms. Doyle :)

October 24, 2011 Today we did some group work in math and did an activity called "Blank Cheque". We had to roll numbers and figure out the best place to put them to create the greatest amount on our cheque. We then added our group's total and compared it to that of other groups. It was a lot of fun and we learned a lot about decimals as well!

Today was picture day which caused a lot of excitement with everyone! We also found time to continue working on our novel study and learned about some things that were happening in Denmark during the second World War. In Math, we worked on some Halloween problem solving. Students also enjoyed getting started on their friendship books in French. It was a very busy day!
