What a fun game! We also solved the mystery of the food groups and started work on our art project... building a plastercine Saskatchewan. Thanks to Mrs Priebe and Ms Thiessen for their good idea!

FRIDAY

We had a very chilly but good day at school today.  It is definitely time to bring on the toques and mitts - recess is cold out there!! I am not sure what happened to fall, but it looks like we're barreling ahead with winter! The soup lunch fund raiser was a big hit today, and we look forward to other big events like that in the future. Two to keep in mind are PJ day and picture day coming up this week. (not to be confused with each other!!)

HAVE A FANTASTIC WEEKEND! GO RIDERS!!!

THURSDAY - FIELD TRIP DAY!!

We had a very cold, but wonderful day at the Western Development Museum! The morning started with a threshing demonstration, which was very interesting. We got to see how it was done in the old days and how the use of horses and then steam and gas power has really changed farming as we know it.
Thank you so much to our chaperones: Mrs Quiring, Mrs Prium and Mrs Fehr. You are wonderful!

These are some pictures that I got from the Western Development Museum web site.
Enjoy!

This afternoon during Christian Ethics, we talked about how much Jesus loves to fellowship with us, and we had several acting stars do a drama for us about some of Jesus' disciples. (Thanks to Austin, Cassie, Celine, Aleah & Mikayla for working through recess to get ready.)

Today we spent quite a bit of time reviewing some patterning concepts in math, and started looking at how those pictures translate into equations.  We played a rousing game of soccer... which ended up in a tie! What excellent soccer players we have!!
In health we continued our discussion about healthy food choices. During the last period of the day, we had a special guest visit from Miss Thiesen (who is working with Mrs Priebe this year), who taught us how to draw Saskatchewan properly. What  a neat experience!! Thank you Miss Thiesen!!

THURSDAY

What a miserable day! Once again we are back to rain, but fortunately, it was a wonderful day indoors! We are making excellent progress on our science unit, learning all about habitats (we were looking at producers and photosynthesis today), and working hard at math.

Just a general note about math - we are doing our best to get through the curriculum in a  timely manner, which means that often kids will have a question or two to do at home. This is actually a great thing, because they get a chance to work one -on - one with you and ask any questions they might be unsure of.

HOMEWORK TODAY:SPELLING: study for tomorrow's test, finish off spelling sentences
MATH: finish numbers 2, 3 and 4

STUDY: Memory verse for tomorrow.
