Happy Mother's Day!

I hope you all had a wonderful Mother's Day and did something special with your family.

The students should have given you a piece of writing that is sure to bring a tear to your eye:) It was also a sneaky way to have the kids practice writing paragraphs! They had to write a topic and concluding sentence. The body of the paragraph should have contained details that related directly to the topic sentence. They then revised and edited their work. They were not given any help! It is nice to see how much they can achieve all by themselves:)

Half of our class went to St. Vlad's Museum last week; the other half will go this Tuesday. Remember that they will be eating lunch late so they are asked to bring a large snack to eat at 8:20 and a small, really easy and quick to eat snack in case they have time to eat before getting on the bus home.

Here are some pictures from last week.

 We also had a chance to build our musical instruments:

 We also made friendship bracelets to sell and raise money for a charity and spread the Ripple Effect!

We are going on a special community walk field trip to see a production put on by our neighboring school. This field trip will be on Thursday morning. If you can volunteer, please let me know.
