WildLife Rescue Presentation

Thank-you to Krystal of B.C. WildLife Rescue, who shared a power point presentation about the animals rescued from our local B.C. environment. We saw a wonderful video of several baby birds being fed. We studied at "hands-on" stations where we identified skulls, nests and feathers. We had a chance to think about how important it is to keep our habitat pollution free - for ourselves and for our animal neighbors. Students, tell Mom & Dad about the baby black bear's teeth!

Spelling 9 Test tomorrow.
Some Story good copies overdue. Bring in tomorrow.

This sounds like a lot, but isn't. Read instructional bubbles and practice these conventions. This is a necessary review of commas and quotations before story good copies are done.

Good rehearsal today, Grade 4C - we'll do one more tomorrow, before "hitting the stage" on Monday. Be sure to tell Mom and Dad to join us if they'd like - Monday, 10:05 - Remembrance Day Assembly. We're up first.
