Hello families and friends,

Today we started our day with some reading.  Then in gym the students continued building their balancing and tumbling skills.  This is working towards when they will be doing Mission Impossible.  Then the students had some free writing time and had "author's chair" to share some of the work that they have done.

In the afternoon we looked at some important terms that the students will come across in their research: "habitat", "predator", and "prey".  What do these terms mean?  Post your answer in the comments below.  Then the students looked through their books that we took out of the library and continued their research.  At the end of the day we reviewed the properties of shapes that we've looked at and began doing some sorting with these.

Tomorrow, the students will be doing break-dancing in dance class.  It is recommended that they wear pants, as they will need to be able to move comfortably and will be doing moves on the floor.

Next Wednesday is Fun Lunch.

On March 2nd, our class will be going to the Ann and Sandy Cross Conservation for a field trip.  More details will come in the next few weeks.  If you would be available to volunteer for the field trip you can email me at <gasoulliere@cbe.ab.ca>.

Thanks and have a wonderful Wednesday,
Mr. Soulliere
