The Poinsettias are red, pink or white and make a wonderful holiday gift, and are a nice way to spread holiday cheer. Order forms were sent home today. The class that sells the most Poinsettias will win a $50 gift card!! Order between November 1st and November 30th by cash only.
A note from the Librarian:
Happy Tuesday!
Music: Next we had a music lesson with Mr. Flower. Please see his blog at http://flowermusicsja.blogspot.com
Math:Today in math children reviewed time. We discussed the similarities and differences between an analogue and digital clock. Miss Gandy drew a picture of a clock on the board and we had to tell her the different times. After we worked in our workbook recalling times to the quarter hour and record the times on both the digital and analogue clock.
Inquiry into Language: This month we are learning how to be ‘Thinkers’. As a class we discussed what it means to be thinkers through think, pair and share. There were many good ideas! When we are thinkers we use our creating and imagination to consider problems, make appropriate decisions and take a positive action.
We read a book called ‘Ferdinand’ and thought about how he was a thinker in the story. Ferdinand showed that he was a thinker in many different ways by using his imagination and thinking about how to make him happy and how to make good decisions.
After we read the book we thought about what being a thinker means to us and how we can be a thinker everyday!

Unit of Inquiry:Today students continued to work on their boards and books. If children finished with their materials and board they were to start practicing the oral presentation component. Tomorrow we will start presenting to our partners giving peer feedback before we have our final presentation. They are starting to look fantastic!!
** I have let children who wanted to take their presentation home so they can practice in front of their parents or finish any last minute things.
Today my teacher helper was Kaysha! Thank you for always being a great help!
Have a wonderful evening
Miss Gandy J
