Time to Decorate
We have had a great time decorating our classroom for Halloween!
We will be carving pumpkins on Friday! Please make sure you bring a ‘gutted’ pumpkin to school on Friday ready to carve!
How do you want to carve your pumpkin?
Which decorations did you put up in our class?
TEK
Today we read this book:
It is all about playing with technology too much and forgetting what is around you and what is important. This is a great reminder as we lead up to Take Me Outside Day on Wednesday. Thanks to Mrs. Sharpe for letting us borrow this story!

Go Jays Go!
Lots of us are quite excited about the Toronto Blue Jays (Canada’s ONLY Major League Baseball Team) and how well they have been doing in the post-season so far.
One of our classmates, Payton, got to go and see the Blue Jays play in Seattle earlier this year!
Do you watch or play Baseball?
Do you have a favourite sports team? If so, who is it and what sport?
Sew Much Fun
We have been reading the story, “Mr. Peabody’s Apples” and doing many activities with the book. Our final project was to sew our own pillows. It was tricky, but everyone did such a good job. After we were finished stitching up the sides and stuffing our pillows we ended up taking scissors to the middle of our pillow. We were able to stitch this back up. This relates to the special message in “Mr. Peabody’s Apples”.
What is the message in Mr. Peabody’s Apples?
How was it sewing your own pillow?

Learning Computer Language
Today we started to learn how to code using the Code Studio! You can find the link under our Learning Links tab at the top. This year our class received a grant from SET-BC for technology in our classroom to help us learn how to code. We were very excited to get started 🙂
