This morning we had guided reading and journals. Today the goal was to do hamburger paragraphs. In a hamburger paragraph you need to have: 1 topic sentence, 3 detail sentences, and 1 wrapping up sentence.

After recess we finished our 4 choice graphs. If we finished early we got to play mathletics.

After lunch Mrs. Polski came to read a story to us. It was a story about Canada and each of us got a copy to bring home!! Then we did our finish up time.

After that we had another visit with Saa'Kokoto. Today he taught us about the Medicine Wheel on Nose Hill. He taught us that the Medicine Wheel has 4 quarters. In each quarter there is a symbol for people. The 4 people symbols show the 4 tribes of the Blackfoot nation.  We also talked about the plants, trees, and birds on Nose Hill. He told us that you can even get medicine from some of the plants.  He taught us that when we go to Nose Hill and wish to take something from the Hill we should give back an offering. This is a way of giving back to Na'a (Mother Earth) and showing respect.  Today was our last visit with Saa'Kokoto until the spring. We are sad that we won't see him for a while but we are looking forward to the spring!

After our visit we had some outside gym time before the end of the day.

Tomorrow is Treat Day! If you are bringing treats please drop them off at the table in the front hall.  Don't forget you 25 cents!

Our helper tomorrow is: Shawn
