We started off our day with morning exploration time. We then had our welcome song and an oral question of the day. After snack and outdoor play, we came in for Brain Gym and Calendar. We then went to our computer class. When we came back we had a sharing circle. We each got to share, what it feels like to be at school. Then everyone, one at a time, got to stand up and someone said something positive that they like about the person standing up. This was really nice.

We all seemed to really enjoy ourselves. We then cleaned up and went home.
We had a great visit to Swan Lake to see the snakes. As we arrived, in the drizzling rain, we met in the parking lot. Thank you so much to all the parents who were able to join us today and drive all of the children. Merci! We walked down the trail to the nature house as a group. We were greeted by seeing a bald eagle high up in one of the trees close by. This was amazing! We then walked down a path towards the lake and went out on one of the docks. We came in to the Nature House just before to have a little exploration time because there are so many neat things to do and see! We then had Mme Renee present to us. We learned a lot more about Snakes. We got to touch and meet four real live snakes. One gardener snake, one corn snake, one milk snake and one python. The children loved seeing the different snakes and feeling them. We got to roll out a huge poster of the longest snake in the world, it was longer than the room! We also got to see bones that are inside the snakes body and lots of snake skin. We did some movement activities and had time for questions. It was a wonderful hour all about snakes. We then had some more time to look and explore around the nature house before walking back through the trail to the parking lot. When we returned to school, we drew what we found interesting or loved seeing. It was a lovely morning!

After snack and outdoor play, we came in for Brain Gym and our Calendar routine. We then solved a class math problem. The question today was "who was the longest arm span in our class?" We had to talk about the question, and we brainstormed ideas of how we could measure. We decided to find a partner and hold up our arms to see who was longer, and then move on to another person. This was a neat activity, with math, measurement and movement. We then drew ourselves in the month of November. We talked about a lot of fun things we have done so far in this month and then drew ourselves and wrote 'novembre'.
