Last day for candy gram orders is tomorrow Monday, February 10th.
In the Poetry book your child has brought home a Valentine's heart which is homework over the next two weeks. Please check out the Spelling City link, I showed this to students and parents at Family Reading.
We had an exciting week with snow, an amazing author visit and Metis Jigging!
Tuesday morning I extended Your Time so Div. 13 could just play in the snow, realizing quickly that it wasn't snowman building snow they made snow angels and laid in them looking up at the clouds and discussing what they could see, their imaginations were amazing. Then they rolled down the little hill, played tag and made the most of having the field totally to themselves! (pictures will be added soon - sorry I left the ipad at school:( )
On Wednesday the students really enjoyed Ren Louie's (a BC author from Victoria) presentation on his two books about his life plus his drumming!
Friday we had Metis Jigging. Kehew-Neepin Roussel taught and danced with the class. We all learned not only was it fun, it was a good workout! Kehew carries and honors the teachings passed down from her father and her sister, keeping their traditions alive and helping students connect with the cultural legacy, resilience and the joy of Metis traditions. I tried to include a video but couldn't so next family reading I'll show it to you.
Upcoming Events:
*Feb. 13 - Valentines Day Celebration/100 Day and Pancake Breakfast...
