Afternoon All

Hello:

Homework: Spend some time and check out the different types of punctuation (s) and how it is used in sentences. Read about 30 minutes or better yet, combine your online reading  to the rules of punctuation and grammar. Have a nice evening and play it safe and pay it forward.

Happy Birthday!

Isabelle, is today your Birthday?  I hope you are enjoying your day.  We wish you a happy birthday and I hope all of your wishes and dreams come true :)

Thanksgiving Weekend is a GO!

We've had a pretty decent week! Continue your awesome behaviour and work ethic. We now move into Growth Mindset Mode--simply meaning that our classroom will be structured under the growth mindset umbrella. You will work hard and through practice, you will grow your brain into something amazing.  Enjoy your weekend--remember--learn how to navigate Google Slides and Read 1.5 hours this long weekend. Invariably, I know Lucas will be reading possibly over 6-7 hours . Rebecca, enjoy your birthday kiddo.

Hello

Great Effort in focusing today! Most, if not all of you are beginning to understand the difference between a fixed mindset and a growth mindset. We will move forward towards a growth mindset perspective. We will talk more about this tomorrow.

Have a great afternoon. Some of you have piano, cello, hockey, golf,  karate, skating and other evening events--if you get a chance try to soak up the remnants of that October sunshine. See you all tomorrow.

Curriculum Night

It was a pleasure meeting your parents earlier this evening. We had opportunities to talk about your work, classroom behaviour and learning goals.
