Week of Nov. 9 - 13

This is a very special week coming up.  I like to take this time to think about my freedom and for the great sacrifice that many have taken.  Tomorrow I will be sharing a story of mine about my Grandpa Reuben Seaman




Notes:
  • Please book a parent/teacher interview for either Thursday or Friday.  Thursday the first interview is at 8:30 a.m. and the last is at 7:15 p.m.  On Friday, interviews begin at 8:30 a.m. and the last is at 11:30 a.m.  Please see the link to the right or call the school office to book your 15 minute appointment.
  • Everyone is welcome to come to our Remembrance Day assembly tomorrow at 10:30.  The grade 4's and 5's are singing!
  • Suspense stories are now overdue.  Students were supposed to take home the planning sheet we did in class and come back with a suspense story.  Unfortunately, not too many came back!
  • The Scholastic Book Fair is coming to Galbraith!!   Please stop by the library when you come for interviews.  We will be going as a class on Monday so if you'd like to send your child with money that day you are welcome to.

Curriculum:
  • Math: We are continuing with subtraction learning about 4-digit subtraction today.  Our Mad Minutes will be subtraction for the next few weeks.  Practice at home would be very beneficial!
  • L.A:
    • Spelling: Because last week and this week are short weeks, we will hold off on the assessment for Lesson 4 until next week.
    • Writing: We have been doing lots of journaling to create peace poems toward the end of the month.
  • Science: Tomorrow we will begin our new unit, "Wheels and Levers."
  • Social: We have just begun our journey into the Foothills Region.  This week we'll look at landforms, bodies of water and climate.
