Question of the night: Tell us about today's nature walk. What was the most memorable part of the trip?
This morning, Ms. B got us to reflect on the following: "Tell the story of Halloween from the perspective of a piece of candy." We'll continue to work on this. Flexible math groups continue to work on topics around patterning. All classes are working on different ways of presenting the same concept. In the afternoon, we walked to Fish Creek to work on some nature observations. We had 4 areas on which we worked: Writing about nature, Drawing Nature, Nature Sounds, measuring our shadows. We had some problems measuring our shadows since the sun decided to go behind the clouds. We'll have to make those observations another day. Tomorrow night is the Halloween Family dance. We'll wear our costumes next Monday, so don't wear them tomorrow, please! See you tomorrow. _____________________________________________________ A message from Mrs. McKay's Power Hour Dear Students and family members of Prince of Wales school, Mrs. McKay’s POWer hour is all about giving back and helping other.

I liked the trees the beavers chewed down and one was leaning on another tree which was really cool. It was a fresh tree a beaver just chewed. CK

My favourite part was the nature drawing. I got to draw the river with the trees around it.
