Day 1!

Announcements
- Gym is Wednesday
- Glow Zone Field Trip tomorrow

Fall Fundraiser 
Our field trip to Glow Zone is happening tomorrow afternoon. Students attending the field trip are asked to come to school in their Gym uniform, and bring a small snack with them.

Orange Shirt Day
Today was Orange Shirt day. It was great to see the amount of students who participated in recognizing the experiences of the Indigenous Peoples who attended residential schools. Some of the Grade 4s put on an assembly sharing some facts about residential schools at our morning assembly.
To add to their knowledge of the experiences the Indigenous Peoples went through, students listened to a read aloud of Shin Chi's Canoe. We then discussed some wonders they still have about residential schools.

Inquiry into Math
Students completed their Whole Numbers math test this morning.

Inquiry into Language
Once students finished their Math tests, they began to work on Lesson 4 in their spelling workbooks. In addition to this, they worked on their cursive homework once spelling was finished. Students were given some extra time in the afternoon to work on these activities. Starting next week, students will be selecting novels at their reading level to read throughout the week as part of their "Reading Log".
As students were eating their snack in the afternoon, they watched a song explaining how to determine the main idea of a text. The song was quite catchy so the students wanted to dance when they watched it the for the second time.

Agenda
- Read for 25 minutes
- Unfinished UOI & Novel study worksheets
- Spelling Lesson 4
- Cursive pg. 16- 19
