Today - We practiced our writing skills and look at ways to turn boring bland sentences into descriptive sentences.  You all worked really hard on this and demonstrated that you are excellent writers.  We will put this to practice on Monday with our Fall photos.  Please share your fall photos with me if you haven't already.  I am still missing photos from about 10 of you.  

Science
- Science 5 Kingdom Project is Due on Monday
Bring your bibliography information as we will be putting this into the correct format starting next week.  

Kid Blog - WRITE A RESPONSE: Today in class we finished The One and Only Ivan. A major theme in the novel was belonging.  We discussed in class what does belonging mean.  What is the meaning of belonging for each of the characters? What does the idea of belonging meant to you? Post your thoughts and ideas into your kidblog.
I am a little sad that the story has come to an end.  I will miss hearing about Ruby's curious nature.  I will miss cheering for Ivan to follow his hopes.  I will miss Bob's quirky personality.  What are your thoughts about the book now that we are finished?  What will you miss, what did you enjoy, what was your favourite part?

Today we used Mind Maps to demonstrate our understanding and connections to the novel The One and Only Ivan.  These mind maps allow us to create a visual and meaningful organization of the big ideas.  They are not only useful for L.A. but a great study tool. 

Don't forget to spend at least 10 minutes tonight adding to your mind map and coloring it for Tuesday.
