May 17

Today was the last day of WeeReads for the grade 1's.  For our last day celebration we got to have hot chocolate while we read and we invited all the grade 1's to join even if they don't usually do WeeReads. We gave our high school buddies thank you cards that we made yesterday.

Today we also had a guest from Little Green Thumbs come to visit. We learned about harvesting. At the end we had a race to try to shell a whole bunch of peas before our instructor said that the frost had arrived. At the end we got to eat the peas that we shelled. When it wasn't our turn to do the Little Green Thumbs activity we worked on our story writing.

This afternoon we talked about our Nosehill viewpoints. We talked about what Calgary looked like 100 years ago and what the view from Nosehill would have looked like. Tomorrow we are going to start another viewpoint from Nosehill but imagining what it looked like in 1916 (If you have time tonight you might want to look up some pictures of Calgary in 1916). Then we finished our journals and worked to get the Nosehill Viewpoint 2016 finished. If we had both of those jobs done we got to play raz-kids, dance mat typing, or mathletics on the computers.

In gym we went outside and we practiced our soccer skills again. We practiced dribbling and passing, running, and playing defense.

Remember, tomorrow is the Book Fair! Please remember to bring your money so that you can buy a new book. Tomorrow is also the last day to buy privileges for Privilege day. Privilege day will happen on Thursday morning.
