Reminder: If you have not paid for the upcoming ATP field trip ($18.00) please pay online, send in cash or a cheque as soon as possible.
Today we finished building our boats. We tested them. We looked to see if they would float or sink. We also tested if they would be stable or unstable in wind/rain/and waves. Ask me what happened to my boat. Ask me what I might change if I do it again?
Today in gym we practiced ball dribbling, passing, chest passes and bounce passes and we also played take away.
In math we started to learn about Bar Graphs. Ask me what I learned. Tomorrow we will graph our boat testing results. We are going to test load tomorrow.
We wrote our Pioneer Journal entry 7. It is our last one. We had to decide if we would stay in Frank or move to a new place and why? Ask me what I decided? Tomorrow we are going to self edit for periods, capitals, descriptive double scoop words and spelling.

MATH
-One of our Open Number Line strategies involves being able to add (skip-count) by tens, starting at any number to 100.
-I have identified this as an area of growth for most students.
-Please review the following videos, GAMES and concept sheets with your child if you feel it would be beneficial
ADDING BY TENS: YOUTUBE VIDEO
Add 10 to 2-digit Alien Attack GAME!
Add 10 to 2-digit Top of the Class GAME!

Science:
Dear Parents, students have concluded their rotations in science where they were exploring all of the foundational knowledge around buoyancy. They have now been challenged pick a style of boat they wish to build. The following 2 sheets help them with what they need to know when designing their boat by thinking about the PURPOSE of their boat and what knowledge they have that can be thoughtfully applied in their design. Please review the following with your child, thanks!
Next week we will begin building boats. On Monday we will go over the materials that we need and review how we will use these materials to design our boats.
If you have any materials at home to donate to our building project it would be greatly appreciated. Things like tinfoil, popsicle sticks, plastic cups, string, the styrofoam containers that meat comes in etc please bring them in on by Tuesday November 29th.

Please when you return field trip forms for ATP is your plan is to pay on line can you please indicate it somewhere on the front page of the form?
I noticed I put that the Scholastic Books orders for December were due back on November 25 but since we have no school that day I will postpone it to Monday November 28th.
Today we looked at all of our Math Candy problem posters and talked about how to share our understanding when we do math. We talked about how important it is to be clear about what equation you are solving by using pictures, labels and words to clearly communicate your understanding. At Student-Led conferences I can show you this problem and explain how I solved it multiple ways.
We also looked at a fourth way to do a number line. Tomorrow we will get to practice this way. At conferences I can share with you the way I feel most comfortable and successful doing number line and a way I want to get better at.
We are getting excited for Conferences. We have so many things we want to share with you!

Today we started our Pioneer Journal entry number 3. Ask me what I wrote about.
In math we learned about a third way to use the number line. We practiced adding two numbers together using the number line. We started at 0....then we tried starting with the biggest number, and last we tried solving the same problem by hopping by all of the tens, then skipping by all of the 5's and lastly jumping by all of the ones. Ask me which way I like the best?

Looking for Volunteers for the Wee Read Program:
Wee Read is about reading aloud and sharing the joy of reading with kindergarten and Grade 1 students. Reading volunteers would need to commit to 30 minutes per week for 8 weeks. In this 30 minutes, volunteers will have the opportunity to work with two students either in Kindergarten or Grade 1.
If you are interested in volunteering for this program, a valid police clearance through the CBE is required. Interested volunteers are asked to please attend a Wee Reads training session on November 8th from 10:30am-11:30am or November 10th from 2:30pm-3:30pm. Both training sessions will be offered at Royal Oak School. If you are interested in attending, please contact Sandi Harrower at slharrower@cbe.ab.ca and RSVP by Monday evening, November 7th.
Reminder: Please remember to bring back your blue
forms about the Sound Kreations performance. Notices went home on Friday and
need to be returned to school right away so tickets can be distributed.

order must be a total of $25 or higher in order to not charge any shipping
fees.
Reminder: Today when we did read to self and read to
someone we got to read a special newspaper about Animals in War. We got to bring
the newspaper home, maybe we can read it together?
Today we had our third science rotation. Mrs.
Lagrana’s class went to Mrs. Hansen’s class to learn about Density. We had salt
water, baking soda water sugar water and plain water. We dropped different
things into the water solutions to see which object came up to the top of the
water more. We were testing if different things mixed into the water can affect
density.
Today we read a new Todd Parr book called “Be Who You
Are”. Mrs. Lagrana got to meet him at her Conference and he is going to be
writing us a letter answering all of our questions about his writing and
illustrations.
In math we worked on our Halloween Candy inventory
problem. We used a number line to help us count or triangle math or ten frames.
Ask me what my group and I figured out? We also did a math forum to see other
peoples work and strategies and ask them questions about their work.
Today we talked about using Yellow, Red and Green cut
out circles at our groups to let the teacher know if we are ok, need a little
help or are stuck when we are working. Tomorrow we will get to try them out!

In the morning we began the day by joining Mrs. McDonald to do silent Read to Self and then we got with a partner to do Read to Someone.
Today in art, we each painted 3 coffee filters different shades of red. To change the red colour to a lighter colour we added white in different amounts.
Today because we did so well with Read to Someone and Read to Self for 10 minutes we got the chance to build different buildings we would see in Frank Ab. We used lego,, robots, train tracks, circuit boards, building blocks, roller coaster tracks, etc.

Today we had our first Science rotations for our Boats and Buoyancy study. We stayed in our own classrooms for the first one. For our class today it was all about Waterproofing. Ask me what experiment I did and what I found out? See if I can remember what the words waterproof, repel and absorb mean? Tomorrow we get to travel to Mrs. McDonald's class and learn about Load.
Today was our second day of Sound Kreations and we were doing Bollywood dance. Ask me what my favorite part was today?
In writing we continued to work on writing about Why we moved to Frank, Alberta from the perspective of our job...(ask me what my job is) and what my hopes are for my life in Frank.
In math we worked on Number Line math and building numbers using a hop, skip and a jump. Ask me what number each movement stands for. Maybe I can show you a double digit number using hops, skips and jumps and you can see if you can guess my number?
