"Why do we wear a poppy?"

"Why do we wear a poppy?" was the question we explored this afternoon.  We had a look at a couple short videos to try and find the answer.  We found out that we wear a poppy to remember.  We wear a poppy because it was the flower that grew in the battlefields of WWI.  We wear a poppy for the people who gave their lives so we may have our freedoms.  In preparation for Friday's assembly we each made a poppy that will go onto our class wreath.  The students who belong to a service group (Brownies, Cubs, Cadet, Forest Rangers) are invited to wear their dress uniforms to take part in the service which will begin at 10:30 am.

Bill Nye the Science Guy is a favorite of all children in science.  Today we had a look at 'Rocks and Soil' and then answered 4 questions from the video.  We are working on answering in complete sentences and using capitals and periods properly.

We are getting really good at using place value to describe numbers.  Today some of us worked on representing numbers in different ways while others used Mathletics.  Just a reminder that Mathletics and Xtramath are available for students to use at home and are excellent practice.
