A guest teacher and newly-found extra-terrestrials!


We were very happy to welcome Mme Banks into our classroom period 1 today! 
Mme Banks read two stories to us, "My Teacher is a Monster" by Peter Brown and 
"The Darkest Dark" by Chris Hadfield.  We loved listening to her read!


Mme Banks even took the time to Tweet Chris Hadfield a great student question!



Mme Banks also stayed to play multiplication war with us. So fun! 
We hope she comes back to visit us again soon!


After our visit with Mme Banks, we worked hard to complete our clé dichotomique that we started in Science yesterday. We all reviewed our work to make sure our questions 
and the names of our subgroups were specific and clearly written.

After that, Mme Careen introduced our first "Design Process" project Science this year! 
We were so excited to jump in and get started!


We are creating our own planet and the group of extra-terrestrials that live there! Once our planet population is created, we will design a dichotomous key (clé dichotomique) to organize them into groups/subgroups. We can present our project however we would like; in the form of a book, a poster, a maquette, etc. 
We will have 2-3 periods of class time to work on our projects next week. 
Our projects are due Thursday, November 3rd. 

And, just a reminder that Scholastic orders are due Monday!

Have great long weekend, everyone! :)
