Hello NLS families, hope everyone had a great weekend. 

Today we:

  • learned two new math games (still working on a variety of "Power of Ten" games) and had time to practice and play.
  • did a task about "elaborative writing" - we learned more about how to add detail to our work, and then we practiced writing with elaborative detail. 
  • wrapped up our work with the novel "The Jumbies" - we read a picture book and also looked at the questions we answered way back before we even started reading the book. 
  • started a new task in social studies - we are now learning about the provinces and territories in Canada! 
  • had a fire drill this afternoon
Reminders:
  • Parent-Teacher Conferences - This Thursday, November 25th 2021 (in the evening) and Friday, November 26th 2021 (in the morning and early afternoon - so, there is NO SCHOOL this Friday, as we will be doing conferences). Please see email that was sent out last week regarding booking! Several parents have already booked, and we are hoping for every family to book a time slot with us to meet. Thank you so much for your support! Please contact myself or the school if you need help. 
  • Virtual Book Fair - Starts TODAY! See below for more information.

The hearts can be placed outside (e.g., front porch, front steps, maybe into a garden in the front - or wherever it fits for your family). The idea is to show that we are supportive and welcoming! The hearts are made of concrete, so they should be fairly strong.
