It was another great day of inline skating - our next and final skating day is on Thursday. Today we did a very complex problem with Mrs. Harms, ask your student to show you their strategies for solving at home: Some octopuses, fish and a few mermaids are in a rock pool. Altogether there are 38 arms, 24 eyes and 8 tails in the pool. How many mermaids are there? In progress: - toy box project (due Friday) - region posters - french Christmas/winter Books  * Please make sure that you are carefully reading and signing all parts of the ski/snowboarding forms before sending them back to the school!  *Report Cards go home next Thursday!

Today we started inline skating - our next skating day is tomorrow. Please remember to bring a helmet if you have one at home! Skating begins at 9:15am! Thank you to MW and KD for bringing in hot glue! Hopefully these donations will get us to the end of our projects! This week we are finishing our Alberta Region Posters and Toy Box Projects. Next week families are invited to join us for our Toy Fair in the learning commons. I will put the times in the blog later this week. We began working on a French Christmas Book (winter for students who do not celebrate). Reminder: Today Skiing and Snowboarding Forms went home, please read these carefully, fill out the permission pages, and retain the other information forms for the New Year!
