Terry Fox Run Thursday



Thanks for all the donations that have come in.  I was stylishly dressed.

We had a fun Terry Fox run regardless of the weather.  Ask your child how many laps they completed.

As a class we did 136 laps between us.  Yay Room 3!!

Today we worked in math on creating various patterns with a variety of materials.  The students have been learning that patterns have to repeat at least 3 times, there is a core, and you can label it with letters.  I encourage you as a family to look in nature and around the house to find real life examples of patterns.

Witch's Brew Recipe

What fun and exciting day we had! We followed a recipe  to make "witch's brew" with a partner. Some students wrote the recipe out so they could do it at  home too. Next week, we will be writing our very own recipe! Please have your child follow a simple recipe to make something that they can write about. Here are some ideas they came up with: Make a sandwich Make crackers and cheese Make popcorn Make cereal It needs only a few ingredients and probably no more than 6 steps.
