 Hi parents,

Today was a really busy and art-filled day!

In the morning, Mrs. Fernandez read the story "The Giving Tree". This version was an indigenous take on Shel Silverstein's classic. It taught the students about the Metis peoples, and their connection to nature. The book features some amazing artwork too - artwork that we will be attempting to recreate in the coming days!

We talked more about 'syllables', and this time, the students were challenged to write sentences with specific numbers of syllables. They wrote 4, 6, and 8 syllable sentences. I was actually really impressed by how well the class did with this task - definitely a good sign for the Haiku writing we'll be doing in the near future!

Our afternoon was dedicated mostly to creating artwork submissions for the LBS Yearbook Cover Art contest. The students did an amazing job with this. I know there will only be one submission selected, but it could easily go to someone in Room 4. The artwork really captured what our school is all about! I'll be sure to post it on the Blog later so everyone can enjoy it regardless of who wins.

We ended our day with Music.

Thank you so much to everyone who has already volunteered for our Zoo field trip, which is currently scheduled for April 20! If you are interested in volunteering for this, or future field trips, please make sure the office has an up-to-date police check. I know a lot of people's volunteer clearance unfortunately expired over our Covid years.

Have a nice night!

Zac
