Speak tenderly to them. Let there be kindness in your face, in your eyes, in your smile, in the warmth of your greeting. Always have a cheerful smile. Don’t give only your care, but give your heart as well –Blessed Mother Teresa of Calcutta

Week 10!
Emily was our Star Student this week!
We celebrated more students who are working hard on their Lexia.

Thank you to everyone who came out to participate in fruitful conversations and celebrate the learning in our classroom at Student Teacher Parent Conferences.


 Our Monster Book Fair was a big hit with all the students and our class was gifted a wonderful new book, "Crankenstein" from a generous classmate.



 The tabernacle spent time at our school this week and Mr.  Walker helped us understand what a tabernacle is and why it is important.
 A Chapel was created in the school for a special spot for the Tabernacle to be available for everyone.

 We learned about the Monstrance.
 We prayed and sang together.

We had a special Mass with Father Ashok.

  
 In math we worked on some backwards number patterns up to 100.



We have earned our bowl in our Banana Split Math and are now working on earning our banana.  Keep practicing those math facts at home!
   
 Our class led the Remembrance Day liturgy for the school.  The students did an amazing job showing respect and remembering.








 On Friday afternoon we had a wonderful science presentation on Liquids.  We learned about materials that are absorb and repel.
 We learned about tightly packed molecules in a solid.
 We learned about the space between molecules in a liquid.
 We learned about molecules that are much farther apart in a gas.
 We layered liquids from heaviest to lightest and we suspended items in liquids.

 We painted pictures using a salt solution and heat.
 We made lemonade slushies and learned about the changing states of matter.






 We made blue rain and learned about the water cycle.



 Wow,  we had a busy week!  The students certainly earned their November break!  I hope everyone is enjoying a relaxing, fun and safe fall break.  I'm looking forward to welcoming everyone back on Monday, November 16th.
