It's been a busy and exciting week in room 9! The week began with a focus on Halloween, of course. Thank you again to all room 9 parents who sent in treats to help make our party special.
In math this week, we continued our unit on patterning. Students learned how to identify and extend patterns, as well as how to write pattern rules. We will continue to work on patterning next week. There will be a quiz on patterning on Friday.
In language we continued with our announcement writing task. Students will write an announcement about their findings from the Report Card on the Health of Canadian Children. Students worked on their rough drafts this week. Students learned how to write a good hook, and we reviewed the success criteria for the announcement. They also continued to work on the skill of summarizing.

In social studies the grade 5's wrote quiz on Canadian government, which was assessed and returned on Friday. That quiz needs to be signed and returned. We will begin a new project, researching a Canadian issue and writing a rant. The grade 6's learned about NGO's from Mr. Siefert and Noah's dad as a guest speaker!
Our student teacher, Ms. Brown, worked with the students in phys. ed., reading and drama. She taught them a new cooperative game, speedball, and worked inside on volleyball skills. In drama the students created a tableaux in a group about Remembrance Day.
Finally, students began to prepare for their student-led interviews. Students reflected on their strengths, areas for development and strategies for improvement. We had a community circle about students' feelings about the interview. The common feeling was that of being nervous. Hopefully after some preparation and practise they will feel more comfortable!
