What we did today:
- we brainstormed questions for our news article - during PE, we worked on our puck handling skills in floor hockey - we finished the movie "Revolution" - we read to the end of the book that is shared from Via's perspective in "Wonder" - in grade 5 science, we collected today's weather data and discussed what impacts the weather. We then tested our hypothesis about hot air rising and cold air sinking by checking thermometers set up throughout our class to see if our hypothesis was correct. How did we test the hypothesis that hot air rises? - We finished our subtraction mad minutes today. Next week we start mad minutes with both addition and subtraction. We have math quizzes tomorrow. Grade 5 is on expanded form, written form and standard form. Grade 6 is on rounding to help estimate using multiplication. Important Dates: Friday, November 4 - deadline for winter clothing donations for Syrian refugees at Keeler Elementary November 8 - grade 6 only, Morning Announcement forms are due (see note below) Homework: - read - practice your basic facts - Grade 6's (and 5's if you are curious): Watch the following videos to review or learn the different long multiplication strategies.

The first group of people that we have chosen to help live right in our city. We will be collecting winter coats, boots, hats, scarves, mitts, and snow pants that are gently used. These items will be for Syrian Refugees from Keeler school in Calgary, where Ms. Georg is now teaching. The refugees have left their homes with nothing but themselves. (Think about it if you did not have a warm winter coat walking out into the snow). Please bring in sizes for age 4 and up. Please help out! Donations can be brought to Mrs. McKay’s classroom. Please have all donations here by November 4, 2016. -The members of the Give power hour Grade 6 Volunteer Opportunity: Morning Announcements are an important part of Prince of Wales School to help keep everyone informed about important events, to celebrate birthdays, and to share news to our learning community.
