We learned about "ou" today, such as in the words ouch, shout, and out.

We read the story "Strictly No Elephants", which is about a boy and his pet elephant going to a neighbourhood Pet Club day. There will be cats and dogs and fish, but strictly no elephants are allowed. The Pet Club doesn’t understand that pets come in all shapes and sizes, just like friends. Now it is time for a boy and his tiny pet elephant to show them what it means to be a true friend.

We thought of a unique pet that we would like to have and why! Ask me what pet I thought about!

We learned about another sacred teaching today: the teaching of love. We learned that the eagle represents love and why it is important to the Indigenous people. 

We did different skipping centres in gym today!

TOYS / STUFFED ANIMALS

Students are asked to keep toys, stuffed animals, make-up, etc. at home. These items distract from learning and are creating issues with items being lost or traded, which is taking away from teaching time.
