Today's learning tasks: using badminton rackets and birdies in gym, writing Cinquain poems to go with our art, demonstrating place value with manipulatives in math, listening to Anabelle share her writing from her trip to Cuba, and paragraph writing in Science about plants.

Ask your child:
- what the difference is between 'badminton' and 'volleyball'
- to recite the numbers 1-10, colors  and greetings in French
- about our new virtue of the month "FAIRNESS".  How do they plan to model fairness?  What is the difference between fairness and equality.   Can they give you an example or 'fairness'?  'equality'?

Unfortunately, due to the weather, a number of students were absent today and missed out on
a fabulous presentation about flowers from Julie and Kayla, instructors from Kananaskis in the Classroom!

If your child was here today please ask what they learned and what their favourite part of this presentation was.
