Thanks to all parents who were able to read with their children. Next time I hope to give you more notice parents...sorry with We Day and Vball game...didn't get the message to you earlier. Here are some action shots ...reading and our Think We team. Important Dates: Skating 'Wednesday,' Oct. 29th (please ask parents to drive as we are short, bring all forms and rental money in too) Hallowe'en Oct. 31st POST: (Growth vs fixed mindset) Last week's question was about Carley changing. One student responded that Carley was angry when she was first placed in the Murphy's home but is now more open to joining in with activities. We sometimes feel uncomfortable in new situations or resist to change. The question is 'How do you feel about yourself? How are you in new situations? Are you eager and willing to learn new things? Are you a risk taker or do you feel more comfortable with the same routines and behaviours. Writing: See kidblog for prompt if you were away. Edit and revise your writing drafts we worked on today in class for the 100 word challenge. (use your use your dictionaries, writer's mumble and thesaurus.) Email Ms W by Wed when you have put your write on your kidblog and I will link to the global site. *see kidblog button to the right Reading: Our reading focus is well under way. We are about half way through the term so check that you are on track and meeting the expectations to date.

I personally feel confident and good about myself and body. I think that I need to be more risky and take chances like "Bug" said. In new situations it takes me a minute to get used to it and then I'm off into a new journey in learning.

I feel ok about my self, I'm pretty good in new situations but it can take me a couple of minutes to get used to it. I love to learn new things and I would defiantly say I am a risk taker!
