Good afternoon everyone!

I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend! It turns out I need a new hard drive, so until then I will try sending pictures via email!

Harvest/Halloween Spirit Day is tomorrow!! Students may come dressed in their costume or in harvest colours – orange, brown, etc. Please no send students with scary costumes or masks. Weapons will also not be allowed. If you care to send in a goodie bag with candy or pencils/erasers, you may do so. Please do not send in cupcakes! Candy will not be eaten at school, but will be sent home with students. It will be a fun day of Halloween/Harvest activities and a dance.

Any candy donations will be greatly appreciated. We will be donating any left over candy to the Eden Food Bank, who will send it to those in need!

I sent home the Polar Expressions Publishing letter and information a few weeks back. I strongly encourage students to enter on their own time. One of my students placed third last year in the short poem category. Please keep in mind the due dates – poetry deadline is November 15 and the short story deadline is November 30. Good luck!

Today we looked at how we make sounds. We found out that sound is energy and that our larynx, or voice box, makes the vibrations that causes sound. We also found out that sound can travel through sound, gas, and liquids!
