Today we started our day by continuing to work on rebuilding our writing stamina. We made it to 8 minutes. Then in gym we continued playing hockey. After that we did our walk about through the Hope and Harmony hallways to observe the art that the other students have been working on for their Tanga projects. Then we did some reflective writing about our favourite pieces. Ask your child about what they saw. Tomorrow we will have an opportunity to walk through the Peace hallway to see their work.
In the afternoon we learned a new word work game called Roll & Write. Ask your child about this. Then we did two rounds of Daily 5. At the end of the day we worked with our friends on our envelope books.
We look forward to seeing you at our
HeART to HeART Tanga Fundraiser!

STUDENT ART WORK
Your child(ren) have been hard at work creating their masterpieces for sale at our Tanga Night! They are very proud of their work and know that it has been created as a fundraising piece. Each piece of student work will be sold for $10.00. Please take some time to walk about the school to celebrate the amazing work of all of our students!
If you are unable to attend the event but wish to purchase your child's work, please contact your child's teacher and they will collect the money earlier and put a SOLD sticker on that piece. All work will be on display throughout the evening. If you do not wish to purchase the piece, please let your child's teacher know and it will be sold to others at the event.
IN THE FOYER
There are a variety of wonderful Silent Auction items to bid on at the event. They will be displayed in the foyer. Final timing for the Silent Auction will be at 7:30 pm. You need not be in attendance to claim your item. If you are the highest bidder, we will contact you the following day to let you know.
Also in the foyer, will be a special project spearheaded by some of our grade 3/4 students. Please bring your loonies and toonies to supply daily milk for young Tanga students! This is a great opportunity for our students to contribute a small amount to make a big difference! Each contributor will receive a Tanzania/Canada pin in recognition of their donation!
