Dear amazing families,

This week:

* We made penguin art. We had a paper and we drew swirls with cool and warm colours. We used pastels. The next part was we watched a how-to draw a penguin video and then we drew a penguin. We are gluing the penguin on top of the swirls.

* We also had gym. We had a special gym for H.C.'s birthday. She chose to play octopus. On Monday Mr. Marta was showing us how to throw. We threw beanbags, Eurotech balls and whiffle balls. When we threw them we didn't pick them up at first, by the end there was a big mess... but we cleaned it up. We also have gym this afternoon. We are going to play four corner soccer.

* This week in math we have been finishing our Term 1 math. If we were finished we were playing math games. Some of the math games are: Stack it up +9, Fish for 10, Make 10 concentration and Stack it up + 10.

* We had chess on Monday. We talked about not giving up pieces with more points for pieces for less points... unless we had a plan to get a big piece!

* We watched a video about foods around the world. We could see that food and money are different in different countries. We saw how much each lunch would cost in Canadian dollars.

* We watched The One and Only Ivan movie on Wednesday! The movie was a lot different than the book. One thing different in the movie, was that the animals escaped from the mall but then they went back. And also in the movie Ruby sneezed on Mac.

Also there was no claw stick in the movie. Also in the movie Ivan didn't write "home" at the end. We had a lot of opinions. Some people liked the movie better, some people liked the book better and some people liked them both the same.

* This week B.K. brought in a book that has a story to read each day in December.

* In Kilometer club we have a new path. It is in the front part of the school instead of the field. The field is too wet and muddy.

* This week in outdoor ed. we learned about the life cycle of an oak tree. First it is the acorn, then it goes into the dirt, then a sprout comes out then it grows into a tree.
