It’s the most wonderful time of the year!! That’s right parents. Our annual Holiday Fundraiser is back and running until November 18. Order forms have been sent home. This is a wonderful opportunity to begin shopping for the holiday season, which is fast approaching. Money raised will be going towards technology items, which we desperately need!! Ask your family, neighbours, and co-workers to support this fantastic fundraiser... we have cookies, treats, and gift cards! We did extremely well last year so lets see if we can do even better! Thank you so much in advance for your support!

UOI with language focus-
today we continued our novel study "Dinosaurs before Dark," we read chapters 5-6 and answered comprehension questions about what we read. We also began a flip notebook to write down characteristics of the dinosaurs we read about in the book. The character Jack has a similar notebook!

UOI - Students picked their dinosaur for their summative assessment listed below:
In the agendas tonight is a dinosaur summative assessment package. Students have been assigned a dinosaur and are asked to fill in the dinosaur report sheet about it. A website is provided in the below description. The report page is due on Thursday and we will conference on Friday. Over the weekend students will be required to take the information about their dinosaur and put it into a visual presentation for the class. Students could create a book with words and pictures about their dinosaur, they could create a bristol board with pictures and words, or a video recording using pictures and talking. Parents please keep in mind we would like this project to be student created and completed, we understand that parental assistance is needed (helping to research, cut and paste, video etc.) but please do not do parts for them.
Unit 2 Summative Expectations- Dinosaur Presentations
Students are required to find information about their assigned dinosaur. They will be using the dinosaur report sheet to help determine what they will need to know. Here is a site that has every dinosaur assigned and has 10 facts about each dinosaur.
Students will have from November 15th to 17th to find out as much information at home as possible about their dinosaur. Please keep in mind you do not have to fill in the entire dinosaur report sheet. Students will use their dinosaur report sheet as a guide to help them create either a bulletin board, recording, power point or a book, to present to the class.
Students will bring all the information they found at home on November, 18th to conference with their teacher. Students will then have the weekend to make a bristol board, recording, power point or book with pictures. They are encouraged to memorize some of this information for when they present to the class.
Students will be given Monday, November. 21st to practice their presentations and presentations will begin to take place the following days.
If you have any questions feel free to contact me anytime.

Mr. Foster and Mrs. Smith
