Hello families and friends,

This morning we started our day with some buddy reading with our buddies.  In dance we learned a new dance.  We learned that each rhythm has 9 moves or less.  Ask your child about this.  After dance we went to our friends' room to work on finishing up our envelope books.  We are working on our animal's adaptations for winter.

This afternoon we started with writing letters to our Alberta animals.  We were practicing using "voice".  Ask your child what this means.  Then in math we worked with our imaginary aliens called the Milikans.  We had to figure out what the number "33" is in their numbers.  They only have 5 fingers and 5 toes, so their numbers are different.  One group figured out that it is the number 18 in our numbers.  Ask your child about this.  Then we finished our day with a round of Daily 5.

Permission forms for the field trip need to be returned ASAP.  Mr. Soulliere would like to have them all back by next Monday, March 16th.  Fun Lunch is coming up!  Volunteer forms for the field trip will be going home tomorrow.  If you are able to volunteer and have not yet contacted Mr. Soulliere since our last attempt to go please email him at <gasoulliere@cbe.ab.ca>.  

Write a short letter to an animal of your choice, using "voice".

Have a great afternoon,
Room 74 and Mr. Soulliere
