Inspiration

Did you ever see something that inspired you?  Six weeks ago I saw this video that was truly inspiring. Olivia Wise, of Toronto, sang a rendition of Katy Perry's "Roar".  Why was this inspiring?  Because Olivia was diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumor.  AND STILL SHE SANG.  Last year we had three children at our school that had been touched by brain cancer.  Do you know someone?

On Monday, Olivia lost her battle. But her song lives on.  It's beautiful.  It can be purchased from itunes and all the proceeds are going to cancer research.  Olivia's song is below.

Peek at my Week and new unit

The weeks just seem to be flying by.  Thanksgiving has come and gone here but Christmas is just around the corner.  This week we are still talking about bears.  In math we will be working on patterning with bear counters.  Monday is Remembrance Day and we will be having an assembly to talk to the children about it's meaning.

Here is my newest unit to go with our bear theme this month.  We continue to work on retell, answering questions and making simple sentences.  In this unit we also touch on characters and settings.  This unit will be on sale for 1/2 price until Wednesday.  Grab in while it's on sale by clicking on the picture below.

Peek at my Week and a freebie

This month we are working on bears.  It's also fire safety month so we will be touching on that too.  Here is how the week is looking.

Here is the bear counting mat that we are using this week.  We are rolling a dice, and putting that many bear counters in the cave.
