We will be doing presentations of Veteran Stories to set the tone for Remembrance Day. Students are encouraged to speak with friends and family about stories of veterans in their own circle. Parents are invited to attend on November 7th or 8th to watch their child's presentation!

We will also begin a unit on Canadian society following the 7 Years War. Students will be learning about how life looked for First Nations, Métis, Inuit and settlers at this period in time!

We've conquered multiplication by 2 and now we are ready to move on to multiplication by 5 and by 10. By the end of this month we will be able to both multiply and divide by these numbers.

As in October, students will have math diagnostic quizzes every Friday to help implement automatic recall and mental math strategies.

This month in science we are learning about soil (not dirt!). We are going to learn specifically about the type of soil that we have here in Temiskaming Shores (little hint, a nickname for our region is "The Little Claybelt").

A special project that we will be undertaking is composting. Through this experiment we will learn about how living organisms and waste can affect to soil health.

We are beginning our independent reading studies. Each student will select a book at their own level with the help of Miss Potter. They will read this book several times; each time they will use one of the strategies they learned in October to help them understand the story.
At the end of the study, there will be a project that the student can complete 1 of 3 ways:

diorama of the setting of the story

retelling of the story from another character's point of view

a chart including facts about the story: characters, settings, plot points, etc.

We are still doing our weekly vocabulary and spelling test on Tuesdays. Students will still receive their new word lists every Wednesday morning.
