We girls are sparkling with snow. Snow is falling! Today was an awesome day to be outside. Even though it was cold we still had fun! All of us had fun in the cold snow! The trees even got hit with frost!

For part of November, the Grade 400 class focused on rhythmics and dance in our Phys. Ed. period. We focused on moving to the beat and using different movement patterns. In groups we made up a group of moves that we could move to the beat to. We taught the rest of the class our moves and then performed them!

Visualizing Dive




We read the book DIVE by Gordon Korman. The book Dive was a good book. We had fun reading the book. We drew pictures that we saw in our head when Mrs. Ball was reading it. Now we are reading Because of Winn Dixie. We will post some pictures of that some time too!

We Remember

We have been talking about soldiers. We worked really hard on our poems. It has been fun learning facts about Remembrance Day. Remembrance Day is a special day. Everyone's poems were good. We wear a poppy to remember the soldiers who died.

We've Got Mail!!!



At the beginning of the school year, we sent postcards all around Saskatchewan. We chose some by looking at Saskatchewan's map and Mrs. Ball chose some others. A while ago we received one from Arcola Community School in Regina. Today we received our second one from St. Louis, Saskatchewan. They are hung up at back of our classroom if you would like to see them. We hope to get many more and learn more about our province and its communities.
