Reading...Give it a Shot
BHS has enrolled in the Calgary Flames reading program.  Students will be bringing home tracking sheets to monitor how much they read each day.  Can you please sign the spot needed if they are reading at home?  1hr read = 1 Flames hockey card in grade 6.  Once they collect all 24, they can move onto the bonus card collection of Harvey the Hound doing funny things! The reading competition starts now and ends early December.   The more they read the more chance we have of the Calgary Flames visiting our school! Thank you for your support and work with encouraging your child to read! Go Flames Go!

Today was a frenzy of a Friday. We did our unit test, to be marked as a class on Tuesday. Then we could work on our poems until completion.  Most students did complete their poetry, thank you for that! Others, get your butt in gear! After that we had Mathletics buddies with the grade 2s - we did math, they did math, and we helped them when they needed.  Then we went up and had a mental math talk about strategies we can do in our heads to arrive at solutions faster.  After that we had a beautiful, Remembrance Day Assembly put on by Mr. Beechey!  It was great!   Then we cleaned our class up before gym.

We hope everyone has a fabulous Friday!

DON'T FORGET YOUR SWIM SUIT, TOWEL, FORMS AND MONEY for Tuesday!
