Happy Halloween to all our families that are celebrating this evening! Thank you all so much for your generosity today. We had an amazing day today. It was so much fun creating our healthy snacks together. I really appreciate all our families for being so willing to give so much to our classroom! 

We started our day off by doing some decorating. We worked in teams to create a chalkboard pumpkin patch outside our classroom. Then we had our annual costume parade in the gym. It was wonderful to celebrate together as a whole school and to see all the unique costumes. Then we began watching a Halloween Math story, with some tricky multiplication problems in it. See if you can finish it at home! After recess, students worked together to create our healthy snacks. I told the students already (more than once) how impressed I was with their teamwork today. They worked so hard at creating their snacks. Everyone even worked together to clean up afterwards. Then we watched "Wayside the Movie" while we were eating our healthy creations. Finally, PEAK students had PEAK and the rest of us had a visit from Samira and Deanna from Composite High School. They are going to be our ENVIROMentors and will be visiting us each Tuesday to share some of the projects taking place in Wood Buffalo to beautify and keep our city green! 

Again, I want to thank all the students so much for how hard they worked today! Classroom celebrations can be tricky but I was so proud at how are they worked to decorate the classroom, create their healthy snacks, and then to clean up afterwards. Keep up the amazing work Grade 4/5! 

See if you can finish the  Halloween Math story at home:
