Are you up to date?

Happy Friday parents,

Today we learned an amazing new song that helps us remember how to test whether something is vivant ou non-vivant! Ask your child if they can sing some of it to you!!
Here we are labelling our bodies with some important bits and pieces. 

We are also well on our way to planning our original stories. We brainstormed lots of potential story problems today and will finish our outlines on Monday. Please take a few minutes to talk about your author's ideas with them over the weekend. Help them start thinking about the details, like "What were they doing before this happened?", "What did he say when she did that?", "Why did this happen?", "Who helped solve the problem? How did they solve it?"etc.


I would also like to remind you that if you selected the "pay per term" option at the beginning of the school year, by now, you should have sent in the full amount of $85 that has gone towards field trips and the snack program. The snack program was $20/term, totalling $60. All students have been offered a substantial snack every morning. If you have not yet submitted part of this amount, the school would really appreciate the contribution before the end of the year. You can send this directly to the office or through me. Thanks!

Have a great weekend!
Tamara
