During the Daily Five students had a chance to share some of the writing they have been working on. We talked about how when we listen to our classmates share their writing we can be encouraged to write our own ideas down and try different types of writing. We also hear words that we might like to try to use in our own writing.
We completed the Literacy performance task for our SLA today. Students looked back at their work and reflected on what they liked best, and what they might next time try next time.
We spent some time this morning talking about Thanksgiving and what we have to be thankful for. The students made several thoughtful responses that demonstrated their understanding of what it means to be thankful.
As we worked on our self portraits today, we learned about warm and cool colours and how they can make our art work beautiful to look at.
In Social Studies we re-read the story Fly Away Home, Then in small groups students made a list of things that could be changed so the main character Andrew and his father could have better quality of life.

INFO FROM SCHOOL COUNCIL REGARDING HOT LUNCH 2014 - 2015
As we get ready for another exciting year at school, it is also time to get the Hot Lunch Program up and running. We will be doing online ordering for all orders so as to ensure accuracy with the orders and to make the process as easy for everyone as possible.
The hot lunch online order system requires a small amount of setup time at the beginning as you must register each child you have attending our school prior to ordering hot lunch. Once the initial setup process is complete, your hot lunch orders for the remainder of the year should be quick and simple. You will need to re-register your child/ren to get started.
Here's how to get started…
ü Go to the schools website and under the school council page there will be hotlunches.net
ü Click on "Click Here to Register"
ü Enter Access Code ESHL
ü Complete the rest of the registration form. (Including your email address will ensure you receive reminder emails about hot lunch order deadlines, and your child's hot lunch order for the upcoming week)
ü Click the "Register Now" button at the bottom
ü Follow the instructions to add each child in your family who attends Evergreen School
ü Once your child(ren) are registered, click on "Orders"
