Highlights
Today we talked about how verbs are words that show action.  We also started to work on the Reading Power strategy of questioning.  Good readers actively wonder and ask questions while they are reading.  We practiced asking questions while reading a book about avalanches.  During Math, students were shown how to play an addition game called number twins on the computer.  Students can play this game at home by going to:
 
-Click on “numbers” near the top of the page
-Scroll down to the section titled Addition/Subtraction.  Click on “number twins”.

Students are invited to wear red and white tomorrow to show support for the Calgary Stampeders who are playing in the Grey Cup final this weekend.

Important Information 
-Please note that school activity fees and lunchroom incidental activity fees were due Nov. 16.

-We are collecting items for the Mayor’s Food Drive

Homework
-Practice your math doubles (e.g., 1+1, 2+2, 3+3, etc.) and ten friends (e.g., 1+9, 2+8, 3+7, etc.)

-Reading (Students are welcome to use Raz-kids for their daily reading.  Please write the title of the book they read on Raz-Kids on the reading log.)
