Today we had a very busy day.

McLean/Watterson had their e-library orientation. All students have received a bookmark with instructions on how to request a book from the library. There are also instructions below.

October 23

Today we got to watch our first peace assembly of the year. It was a virtual peace assembly on Google Meet. We really enjoyed watching the work of the other grade 3 and 4's in Mrs. Cox and Mrs. Huebner's class.

We began some work on animal life cycles by creating sketchnotes as we watched a video on beavers. We learned what habitat and appearance mean. 

We began our day with some Daily 5 because we haven't had much this week and we also had a Gratitude Circle. 

Reminders:

- Dress for the weather next week

- Have a great weekend!
