Thursday

To honor the young lives lost in the tragic crash, students may choose to wear jerseys tomorrow. I have suggested that if they don't have one, they might like to wear green. Participation is, as always, totally optional.

Today we had a brief and age appropriate discussion about why the school flag is at half-mast and why some people will be wearing jerseys tomorrow. I encouraged students to have family discussions at home if they felt the need to talk more.

On lighter note:

On Monday, 16th April we will be going on a community water walk to celebrate 'International Water Day'.  This walk connects to our learning in that we have been exploring the importance of water in the world.  We are planning to leave the school at 12:45pm and return for approximately 2:00pm.  Students are encouraged to wear appropriate footwear and bring an extra snack for our 5km walk. 

I can't seem to upload the map, so check out one of the other grade three teacher's Blog for that if you are interested. 

If any parents would like to volunteer that afternoon, we would be very grateful. Let me know if you can come.
