Good-Bye March! Welcome to Spring!

Hi from Room 6! All of us were happy to see the first day of Spring roll around, although it hasn't really felt like it the last few days! Term 2 conferences arrived and it was wonderful to see the families here to celebrate their child's learning. The students had worked incredibly hard to finish their Arctic projects and were proud to share them.

Aubrey and her family celebrating her learning - Dad even tried the snow goggles!

We're very proud of our students that participated in this year's Project Fair - effort and commitment are needed to finish and congratulations to each of them! Two of our students will now take their project to the Divisional Project Fair.

To celebrate St. Patrick's Day and all report card envelopes returned, we enjoyed a few green treats and homemade chocolate chip cookies. Mrs. Chumola was surprised at how many of us were willing to sample the seaweed salad! Thanks to Mrs. Harms for the cookies!

Mrs. Chumola has been teaching us about different types of personal safety, using the "Kids in the Know" program. Please ask me what I've learned to help keep me safe. We also had Constable Buduhan visit our classroom to talk to us about how to use technology safely and responsibly.


We were also fortunate enough to have Daniel from "Prairie Exotics" come to give us a presentation about reptiles and amphibians. They are a zoo, education and animal rescue service. He was very knowledgeable about the animals and we could tell that he cares for them. Daniel showed us a scorpion, a bearded dragon, two turtles, a tarantula, a couple of snakes, a tree frog and a few other amazing creatures! Then, we were allowed to pet some of them - including the biggest snake!








And, last but not least, we are celebrating the arrival of Spring Break and the end of our Arctic study with a Polar Party - complete with an ice-cream treat! Here we are dressed in our pj's ready to enjoy the "Arctic Tale" movie. We've wished each other a Happy Spring Break and we'll be back together on April 3rd!
