Highlights:

Our classes had a special meeting this morning with Mrs. Zaharichuk.  Starting this Friday, our classes will be working on a “We Do” project… also known as LEGO!  Students from both classes will be paired up and are expected to work together to:

-       pick an animal to build

-       follow the building directions

-       create a computer code to meet the criteria set up by the teachers

Continuing to learn more about community, we watched a video that explained the differences between an urban, suburban and rural area.  After a group discussion, students had the opportunity to fill out their “nieghbourhood” portion of their oval books.

Mrs. Goldenberg stopped by for a short visit in Mrs. Leung-Chow’s room and we had a discussion about ‘loyalty’.  Did you know that you can show loyalty to your parents by listening to what they say?  You can also show loyalty to a friend by sticking up for them and loyalty to your pets by making sure you walk and feed them on time.
