Highlights
In Science we did an experiment, which deals with the surface tension of water.  First, students had to estimate how many drops of water would fit on a penny before the water begins to spill off.  Then we used eyedroppers to test how many water drops fit.  In Math we are learning our addition doubles (e.g., 3+3, 4+4, 5+5, etc.).  We played an addition doubles game called slides and ladders.  We are currently reading the novel, “Sunset of the Sabertooth” which takes place in the Ice Age.

Photo retakes are tomorrow if you sent back the picture form requesting a retake, or if your child was absent during the initial photos.

Important Information

Parent-teacher conferences are Thursday night from 4-8 pm and Friday from 8 am- 1 pm.  Students are welcome to attend these conferences.  Please book a time to meet with me if you have not already done so.  Bookings can be made by clicking on the “My CBE Account” button on the Panorama Hills School Homepage.  Please contact the office if you require assistance.  Thank you!

Book Sale
Panorama Hills School Society still collecting gently used children's book donations for our 2nd annual Used Book Sale!! 
We are primarily in need of leveled readers & chapter books for grade 1-6 readers. 
Books can be dropped off in the boxes outside of the PHS library, beside the grand hall up until Monday November 13th.
The Book sale will be held on Thursday November 16th and Friday November 17th in the Grand Hall during Parent/ Teacher Interviews.
Proceeds from the used book sale go towards prizes given to the students for the Read-A-Thon, which runs through the month of December.
This is a great opportunity for the students to get some "new to them" reading materials to kick off their Read-A-thon success!!
