At story writing time some of us got our stories finished and have started editing and doing the pictures. After recess we had math. The grade 2's worked adding two digit numbers using the regular adding algorithm now that we have a good understanding of what is happening behind the scenes. The grade 1's had to finish up their addition and subtraction stories work and then got to play math games with the dominoes.
Today we had fun lunch and our animal museum. There were toys in the Happy Meals! The animal museum was for an hour this afternoon and we shared our dioramas and told the visitors facts about our animals. All of the other classes came to visit, even the grade 6's! Some of our parents and even a few grandmas were also able to come. If you weren't able to come, don't worry! We're bringing our dioramas home today! Then we had outdoor gym. It was raining a little bit.
We are now collecting book donations for our annual Dr. Coffin book fair. Please send in any gently used books that you aren't reading anymore so that other students can buy them. This book sale is a fundraiser for our environmental initiatives.
We will be having a special fundraiser for Ft. McMurray next Thursday. It is called Privilege Day! Starting on Monday students will be able to buy privileges such as "15 minutes of free time", "chewing gum", or even a draw to have Mrs. Polski as your butler for a cost of $1-5. More details about this will be shared by the Grade 5-6 classes.
Tomorrow is Fresh Air Friday. We are planning to go to Nosehill. Please dress for the weather and bring an extra snack. If you are able to volunteer we could use another volunteer. Please email Ms. Boyer.
Our helper on Monday is: Isabel
