On Friday, November 7 at 10:40 our school will be holding a Remembrance Day service.  Each morning this week, we will be

 Collecting non perishable food items for our CanadianVeterans' 
                                 &  
Accepting coin donations for Poppies (nickels, dimes, quarters and loonies) Poppies will be distributed to students prior to the
Assembly

 Families are welcomed to join us in Friday's ceremony.



As noted on Thursday's blog, our students were grouping and counting the pumpkin seeds in many different ways.  The students in the photos below, organized the seeds in groups of two, five and ten.

The students said "We found it easiest to count by tens, then fives and twos were the hardest."

.

In class, we are using various manipulatives i.e. blocks, tags, even cheerios  to  practice forming groups of 2s, 5s, 10s and then counting these amounts.

Please use any items from your home to practice counting as high as you can by twos, fives, & tens.

If your family would like to take a photo and e-mail it to us, we can put it on the SmartBoard and students can practice counting your items.
