In Language Arts today we continued with our Nursery Rhyme Unit.  Today we focussed on the rhyme; "Old Mother Hubbard."  After reading the rhyme we decided to do a little Mad-Libs as a class which you can also try at home.

Our Apple Schools Campaign this month is Active Living.  You can check out the website by clicking on the link: https://sites.google.com/a/fmcsd.ab.ca/st-annes-apple-schools/monthly-campaigns/active-living-campaigns.  Here are some ideas the students came up with when we brainstormed ways to stay active:

1. Gymnastics
2. Hockey
3. Figure Skating
4. Biking
5. Soccer
6. Skateboarding
7. Skiing
8. Football
9. Basketball
10. Swimming

Kids aged 6-11 need to do 60 minutes of physical activity a day.

For Art today we learned about Analogous Colours.  These are the colours that are closest to each other on the colour wheel.  We used the red colours on the colour wheel below for a Valentine project that you will get to see on Tuesday.
