Week 23: February 18-22, Happy Family Day!

I hope everyone is enjoying their long weekend, and spending Family Day doing something with their family! The weather this weekend has been a little cold, but great so far! 

Last week was a very short one, academically! 
-Monday was Faith Buddy Day, so both grades spent a block with their Kindergarten Faith Buddies talking about Kindness, Love and helping others. We then made a "Quilt block" for our kindness quilt, which we hung in the hallway by the Kindergarten pod. I posted a picture on Twitter.
-Tuesday we squeezed in some math! We worked on division (both grades), Religion (Gr. 4) and then did Zumba with Paco! So much fun!
-Wednesday, the school was closed due to heavy snow.
-Thursday, the Gr. 4 were on a field trip to the Museum of Science and Technology, and the Gr. 5 spent the morning working in the morning class, then watched a movie in the afternoon. We returned in time to exchange Valentines and hand out report cards.
-Friday was a PD Day

-Monday is Family Day

Next week, things should return to normal. 




Our Winter Walk Day is scheduled for Thursday, Feb. 21. Walk, wheel or snowshoe to school on Thursday, and join the school for a morning walk. Active school transportation supports healthy brain development, reduces stress, anxiety and depression, and improves cardiovascular health as well! Join us for Winter Walk Day and make active school travel a part of your day. After our walk, we will enjoy a cup of hot chocolate in the school yard. If you do not want your child to have hot chocolate, please let me know through the blog, or a note. We have ensured it is peanut/nut free (Carnation), and we have also purchased milk-free (Nesquick) for those with milk allergies.
