Thank you to all of the families who attend Parent-teacher meetings last night!  It was a pleasure to see each of you! 

Today, Miss Graham lead students through a Halloween themed art project where they made different shades/tints of paint for their background.  They then completed a guided drawing of a Haunted House to add to the foreground. 

In Science, the Grade 1s celebrated Green Day.  And learned to create green through the mixing of blue and yellow playdough.

The Grade 2s continued their Science Week exploration of liquids by visiting Mrs. Mullen, where they learned about absorption and waterproofing.

HAPPY BLUE DAY!  Today the Grade 1 students blew bubbles and learned about colour tints (adding white)/shades (adding black).  

As part of our week-long exploration of liquids, the Grade 2s visited Mrs. Suter's classroom, where she taught them about the states of liquid.  They learned the terms: solid, liquid, gas, and evaporation.  

In art, students completed their Painted Paper Reindeer, which will be the project used for their RBES Christmas Card Fundraiser.  Watch for more information coming home soon.  

In Math, the Grade 1s had their second day of their new unit, which focuses on counting backwards from 10.  The Grade 2s launched their new unit on patterning.  Today we identified pattern cores and extended repeating patterns. 

I look forward to seeing many of you this evening!
