Did You Know…? The Viking Leif Erikson got to America about 500 years before Columbus. He landed in Canada around 1000 AD and called it the Vinland.

Today we started editing our first drafts of last week’s paragraphs. Students have been doing a great job at starting to look for capitals, end punctuation, etc. in their work. That’s why this is the last time we are using this checklist. Our next editing week will have something added to it. Keep the challenges coming!

Don’t forget, our school is hosting a Multicultural Dinner Theater, Thursday, February 19th. There will be student performers from Grs. 4-6 taking part in the dramatic production, and dinner includes hummus with pita bread, Italian salad, perogies, paneer, chickpea curry with rice, and assorted sweets. Tickets can be purchased at school from Mrs. Dube. They are $5 for children under 5 years, $10 for children between 6-18 years, and $15 for adults.

We are also looking for parent volunteers that may be available to help with the preparation and cooking for the above Dinner Theater. Experience with food handling is appreciated, but not necessary. The Dinner Theater will take place from 5:30-7:00 pm and food preparation will take place at Timberlea School beginning at 12:00 pm. If you are available to help make any of the food, please contact Mrs. Power at karla.power@fmpsd.ab.ca for more information. Thanks in advance for your help!

The SPCA committee will also be having a used book sale the week of February 16-20. We will be collecting gently used books this week (February 9-12). All proceeds will go to the Fort McMurray SPCA.
