Welcome Marty Chan!

This morning we started our day with a visit from author Marty Chan. He told us some very interesting folktales from China and even included some magic tricks in his stories! We really enjoyed listening to him and loved it when he made up a brand new story just for us. Isabel was the main character (a world famous ballerina) in his story and Diego was her enemy (the strongest kid in the world). Diego was jealous of Isabel's dancing but in the end Isabel taught him how to dance and they became great friends!

After Marty's presentation we decided we should write him some letters to say thank you. We each wrote a letter to Marty and put them in a big envelope for him. Mrs. Hamby gave him the envelope just before he left the school at lunch time.

Before lunch we finished up our leaf books and had a bit of time to play math games on the iPads. We are bringing our leaf books home today!

After lunch we had one last day to finish up our arctic landscape rough copies and our suitcases. Next week will be moving on to paint our watercolour landscapes. Only one more week until Ms. Boyer goes on her big trip!

Please remember that tomorrow is Fresh Air Friday. We will be outside for most of the morning and need to be dressed properly. Due to our chilly mornings it is a good idea to bring gloves, a hat, a warm coat, and warm outdoor shoes. On Fridays it is also a good idea to bring a snack. Working outside makes a lot of us extra hungry! 

Our helper on Monday is: Abdul Ahad
