Highlights

Brrrr!  It was a blue dot day today, which means that students did not go outside for recess.  We started our Hot and Cold Science unit and worked on a page in our creative journals.  We also talked about how to read a thermometer.  This morning students from Captain Nichola Goddard performed a band concert for us.  They did an amazing job playing a variety of different instruments.  We read 2 fiction books today called “The Gingerbread Pirate” and “ Polars Bears Past Bedtime.”  We also read a non-fiction book titled “Cold Weather.”

Important Information

With winter's arrival comes much colder temperatures.  Please check the forecast daily and dress your child accordingly.  The students will be going outside unless temperatures drop below –20C (with or without the wind chill factor).
