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!
T'was the night before All Hallow's Eve and not a student could sit still and focus. hahaha. I joke!
Today was another great day in room 14. We worked on long division, we will be doing multiplication and long division word problems next week. After music, the students had almost 2 hours to work on their poetry / social projects until we had dance. Dance was awesome, as it was halloween themed!
In the afternoon they had science with Mr. Mueller still working on the trees and forests unit.
Afterwards we went to our grade 2 buddy class for art. We painted pumpkins together for our dual-class library display. Check them out before/after the assembly tomorrow.
Then we cleaned the grade 2 class and our own room before heading home.
We hope everyone has a wild Wednesday!

Today we worked on long division with the focus of using multiplication to prove our answers. How to prove: multiply the quotient with the divisor...then add the remainder to the product (if there is a remainder).
After music we had snack. Then, we had 9:15 - 10:30am to work on our poetry anthology that is due Nov 8th.
At 10:30 to 11am, students could read / work on poetry still / back to division work, before did 4-ball soccer in gym.
After lunch, our class had science with Mr. Mueller. This was their last day of in-class time to work on their leaf identification project ----- it is homework now, due ASAP.
In social we were going through the city final touches and ensuring the write-up about the services is done ---- description and why the city needs thats service to function.

Today our class participated in the Business in Our World from the Junior Achievers Alberta. It was super cool!
The students learned about marketing, advertising, teamwork, the design process, and an assembly line. Was very cool to see the kids work together today. They built their own businesses, selected their target audience, made advertisements and presented it to the class.
I had a lot of fun watching them take part in a business program today and hope they did too.
At the end of the day we played dodgeball as a group

Today was a jam packed Friday! We focussed on multiplication in math today and 3x2 digit problems and 3x3 digit problems. Monday we will be tossing in decimals into them, before we throw in word problems.
In LA we had time to work on our 4 poems about the author, and for those who finished we wrote our new poem, cinquain poems. Ask your student to share theirs!
We had reading buddies for longer as we helped the grade 2s log onto their Raz-kid accounts, and Mathletics accounts. Then we worked with them on Mathletics.
Our class did really well during the fire drill today too! We also had gym to end the day.
We hope everyone has a fast-food Friday!

SORRY about the blog post yesterday it totally slipped my mind --- I had a wellness meeting, and then admin team meeting after. I know I know excuses, I will try my best to post daily!
Today in the morning we worked on our science spelling sentences until music.
After music we did our "once every 3 week" basic fact quiz. We will be marking them tomorrow as a class.
In LA we started worked on our "About the Author" section of our poetry anthology. It will consist of 4 mini poems about the author. Tomorrow we begin the harder poems hopefully after we finish our literary term slideshow.
Gym was dance today, it will be happening every Wednesday until Dec.
In the afternoon, we worked on social --- why do we have a local government? We switched to local as federal was too hard to start with, without the context.
We hope everyone has a winter Wednesday!
