I hope everyone had a fun and safe halloween! I loved hearing their stories, and I was so touched when they thought of mme Chantal and I and brought us chocolates. I am set for chocolate for the whole year! 

As you hopefully noticed, there is no dictée this week. We will resume next Monday. 

Also, I will be away this Thursday and Friday. I have the amazing opportunity to work with a Special Olympics athlete at a conference together. If you want to check out where I'll be, you can read more here: http://www.coach.ca/-p159377

For those of you who don't know, I volunteer a lot of my time with special Olympics. If you want to know more, I love speaking about SO anytime! 

Today, we learned about Diwali celebrations. Here is a great link to learn more. http://www.cbc.ca/kidscbc2/the-feed/whats-the-story-diwali/

We will also be learning about the day of the dead celebrations. Here is some info about it http://www.cbc.ca/kidscbc2/the-feed/day-of-the-dead-and-the-sugar-skull/

On a side note, both these articles came from the CBC kids Facebook page. They have some awesome posts, so if you're on Facebook, they're a great page to follow.
