Week 10

What a wonderful week we've had here in Mrs. P.'s class! Students have been mastering their sight words while learning about Canada and archery. This week students were introduced to Jason Lyon, an archer from Winnipeg Manitoba who will be competing in London's 2012 Olympics. Mrs. P.'s class also had the opportunity to see the real equipment archer's use to practice their sport, as our classroom has it's own archer, Mrs. P. herself!

In music class, students had a chance to hear the Canadian national anthem and watch a video of a traditional Quebecois dance that is danced sitting down in a chair! In our next meeting, we will learn a dance of our own to get a feel for how our Canadian neighbors like to move! Students also learned a social greeting song, which we sang to our fellow classmates using a microphone.

This week Mrs. P.'s class began their New York State Alternate Assessments, which will continue up until the Christmas holiday. Students are encouraged to do their best work and try their hardest. Keep up the great work kids!

Thank you for contributing jars of gravy for next week's Thanksgiving feast. We are all looking forward to a holiday meal together, and wish everyone at home a happy Thanksgiving!
