Good afternoon!

Today was insanely busy for all students. The Gr. 4’s and I travelled to the Metis Festival. I want to thank all the Gr. 4 students for their wonderful behaviour on this trip. It was extremely crowded and hectic, but our class stuck together and got to do as many things as possible. I really appreciate your wonderful listening skills, and the great patience and respect you all showed today. We would have been much later if it wasn’t for you!

The Gr. 5 students were working on a number of tasks, but perhaps our most exciting was an art activity. The Gr. 5 students were able to share what we have learned about Haida art with 4 other Gr. 5-6 classes today. They read the first story of the totem pole, shared what we learned about totem animals, and then taught the students the Haida art project that we completed last week. I’ve heard from a number of teachers that it went very well, that you all showed excellent leadership, and were able to take charge of such busy classrooms! Well done! I’m really proud of all of you. I’m sorry that some of you thought that we had gone for DPA without you. This was NOT the case. We were on the bus, as we were almost 20 minutes late returning from Metis Festival. We’ll talk about it on Monday some more, but thanks for working together at the end of the day today.
