Hi Parents,

This week was filled with lots of fun and new experiences!

We had our field trip to the zoo on Tuesday, it was a chilly day but still lots of fun. Students were able to research and learn more about the animal they have chosen. Each student got to do a program around their animal and had time to go to their animal's exhibit to do their own research.

In writing this week we wrote about our time at the zoo: what we saw, what we learned and what our favourite part was. We also took some time to write about what we loved about our mom's in preparation for Mother's Day on Sunday.

We continued to work on our literacy skills through literacy centers and continued to practice our addition and subtraction skills through math centers.

This week was our first in-line skating session. Many of us had never done in-line skating before. It was definetly tricky but we are excited for our next session on Tuesday.
A reminder of the dates and times of our in-line skating sessions:
Tuesday May 14th-10:35-11:20
Tuesday May 28th-9:50-10:35
Thursday May 30th-8:20-9:05

This past Monday was Music Monday. We gathered together as as school and sang the Music Monday song, we also learned and reflected about why music education is so important.

We also had our Paint Day on Thursday, another great event planned by leadership. We were taught by Mrs. Kenna and Ms. Thomas on how to take care of our paint brushes and they also taught us some painting techniques when using water colours.

We also created some special Mother's Day crafts this week in art. I hope everyone has a wonderful Mother's Day this weekend!
