Just a reminder that there is no school tomorrow!  Also, if you have Purdy's orders please come by my house tonight between 4 and 7pm.  Check your email for my address and a map.

Today in science we did a cool experiment where we put 2 thermometers outside, one buried in snow and one on top of the snow.  The students were amazed when we found that the temperature of the thermometer in the snow was higher than the one on top of the snow.  We learned that snow acts like an insulating blanket and helps animals in their caves or burrows stay warm in the winter.

In Jolly Phonics today we learned the digraph (when 2 consonants combine to make a new sound) ch
When we learned this digraph we pretended that we were a choo-choo train.

This afternoon we had our success assembly at school.  The following awards were given to students in our class:

• Congratulations to Agamroop Khinda in 1E for getting his first ever goal in hockey and moving up to the next level in swimming lessons.
• Congratulations to Lucas Caines in 1E who just passed a level in swimming and recently got his yellow belt in taekwondo.
• Congratulations to Brinda Tailor in 1E who  has just passed the turtle level in swimming.
• Congratulations to Savindu Thalagal in 1E who  has just passed the turtle level in swimming.
• Recognition goes out to Kaitlyn McPherson in 1E who did a nice deed when she shoveled her neighbors driveways without being asked.  Way to be a good neighbor, Kaitlyn!

If your child accomplishes something special at home and I will nominate them at the next Succes Assembly!

Have a great weekend!
