Thursday, April 27

 Hi parents,

We had a great day today!

In the morning, the students had time to work on an exceptionally flexible writing prompt, which gave them the option to write about rocks, minerals, Alberta's history, or some other topic we've recently been learning about.

In math, we learned about writing and naming fractions, by using the ths suffix for the denominator. For example, saying tenths rather than tens, or even an obscure one like twenty-sevenths. 

We had a kickball rematch and this time the purple team won. It's been awesome seeing the team spirit and positivity from both teams!

In the afternoon, we did Daily LA, read Ticket to Curlew, and got to attend the Kindergarten Concert Rehearsal, which was all about bees. It was an excellent performance. I bet tonight's will be even better.

Tomorrow we're celebrating "Student Appreciation Day"! The acronym SAD is especially fitting, as it is also Mr. Ripka's last day. :(

We'll make sure it's a good one though. It is a PJ Day and a Stuffy Day. Students have been asked to use their best judgment in bringing 1-2 stuffies that won't be too distracting.

Have a nice night!

Zac

PS: There is a giant Pysanky Egg display at Southcentre Mall until April 30! It's pretty cool and I think our class would especially appreciate seeing it since we just made eggs of our own.

Also, on the topic of local community events, Canyon Meadows Cinema is showing Star Wars: A New Hope in honour of May 4th, and the sequels in the following weeks!
