The fall has flown by in the Grade 1/2 classroom! We had lots of fun at Halloween, decorating cookies and playing games in our costumes!  During the week of Remembrance Day, we enjoyed meeting Mark, a Canadian Veteran.  We had lots of good questions about what he did to help people in other countries.  We wrote beautiful poems about peace and talked about how we can bring peace to our home and school.  We loved working in our Math books, doing Spelling sorts, reading Pippi Longstocking, building our Mission Moon Lego bases, and learning lots of new things about Holiday celebrations around the world!  One of our favourite celebrations was Dutch Christmas.  We even had a visit from Sinterklass! We sampled latkes and played with dreidels during Hanukkah!  We hope that it snows again really soon!  We loved playing in the fresh snow and making snow forts!
