October 29 News










October 29 News by Nicole and Parsa

This week we wrote scary stories. Mine is about a boy who went to a haunted house and the ghosts and witches were not very nice to him (Parsa). My story is about a witch and she lived in a haunted house and the the witch did not like kids very much (Nicole).

In math we worked with numbers. We talked about addition and subtraction with two and three digit numbers. Addition is easier that subtraction!

In science we learned about magnets. We tried magnets on different things and we found out that most metal things stick to magnets. They didn't stick to the doorknob, Ms. R's keys or the front green blackboard (but it did stick to the morning message blackboard!?). Today we made magnets by rubbing a sewing needle on a magnet and trying to pick up paper clips.

We learned a song for Remembrance Day called Peace. We will perform the song in front of the school.

We made spiders from styrofoam balls, black pipe cleaners, black paint, glue and googly eyes.

Our new student teacher arrived in our class. Her name is Ms. Adeodu. She is 22 years old and born in the country called Nigeria but grew up in Alberta, Canada. She likes to write poems and she read us a poem that she wrote.

An author visited our school. Her name is Heather Down and she read us a book called "Charity's Chirp" about a girl who ate birdseed.

Dwali, a Hindu celebration, started this week and lasts for 5 days. We had a sweet treat to celebrate.

Halloween is almost here and we now have skeletons in the window of our classroom door and long, plastic rainy things hanging in the doorway.

Good bye from Parsa and Nicole
