Grade OneL) In Grade One this week we all enjoyed participating in the fair; some of us won prizes for our good school work, baking and vegetables. The September birthdays were Lindsay, Jessica and Andrew. They baked a delicious marble cake for us to share. "Special Me" Sarah took home the book we made for her. This week Kristy is Special Me. We have watched several excellent films on "insects" in connection with our "Teeny Weeny Pets" unit. Today we made our own strange "bugs" in art. Grade Two One of our topics in reading is about turtles. Ronnie has found out some in- teresting facts about turtles and has made two super books. The turtle cookies were delicious! We are working hard at strengthening our math facts to ten. We found out our heights and Joe Ernest is the tallest at 137 cm. Grade Two/Three Each morning has been dull and wet but not so in the Grade Two/Three classroom. One of the Monarch Butterflies hatched and what excitement. After we had en- joyed the magic and beautiful colours, we took it outside and let it fly away before winter. Everyone has been writing and recogniz- ing the numbers to 1000. We had finally reached our goal and made some attrac- tive Number Booklets. Grade Three/Four This week in Grade Three/Four we all enjoyed the Lucknow Fall Fair and everyone had a good time at it. Grade Three/Four is reading a book by Rubert Dahl entitled "The Witches". They are finding it a very scary novel. In en- vironmental studies they are studying air and effects of tornadoes and hurricanes (eg. Hurricane Gilbert). Our "Bear Study" is going very well. The Grade Three's made games for bears to play outside while the Grade Fours con- tinued to work on activities involving the Berenstein Bears. Everyone started a bear rhyming book which they plan to have ready for open house. Grade Feur We started our novels: Charlotte's Web and The Trumpet of the Swam. Both books are written by E.B. White. We are finishing our corn husk dolls this week. In health we are doing teeth. In en- vironmental studies we are doing corn. Grade Five In math this week we are working on Roman Numerals.
