At the SJSD Youth Forum PD session on Sustainability. Very excited to come back tomorrow with some of my students. I hope the students treated the guest teacher well this afternoon.

What an amazing day for Winnipeg! The atmosphere this past week around the city, province and country is / was awesome! Even with the Jets loss today they got a standing ovation and the vibe from the city is glowing. At school, we had a "Blue Friday" for the Jets home opener. It was great to see how many kids were so pumped up for this and it really brought a whole sense of community and togetherness to our school and also the same connection to our city and province. This was truly an amazing week for Winnipeg that our kids and ourselves will always remember. So, on Thanksgiving, or any time this weekend, give thanks to how this has brought us all together in such a moving and energetic way.

First Drama Club was today. It was fun! I forgot that we skipped over a lot of the basics last year because we had so many returning members. I received a lot more forms for the club, so it looks like it will be a good group. I look forward to our next meeting, but we have to wait another week as this Monday is Thanksgiving and there's no school.

Today we started a novel study for our Theme Study on Mysteries. The book is, "Mystery at Cranberry Farm," by Lynn Manuel. We also had an assessment in Place Value which they worked hard at. At the end of the day we went over the TUSC activity and linked it with Edmodo. It was a little confusing for the students, so I strongly suggest they try to open and send files to me to get the hang of it so this can run smoothly. The class was excellent today! They worked hard and listened very well.

Wow! Another busy day for me. There were a little too many reminders to stay on task and stop talking today, but we were still productive. This class has some amazing math minds and they have picked up on place value very well. Soon we will be moving into "Monster Math," which the kids love. I'm looking forward to an exciting and fun-filled October!
