SOCIAL STUDIES                                                                                                               

We have started our new social studies unit about the Northwest Coast Aboriginal People of Canada.  If you have any books or artifacts at your house that you would be willing to share with us, please send them to school.  Last week we started by making a chart about what we think we already know about these people.  We made our own mini-canoes and started comparing their lives in the past to our lives today.

*PLEASE send an empty paper towel roll (or 2) to school this week.

MTYP                                                                                                                                        

Last week I sent home a permission slip regarding our next field trip to the MTYP.  This trip is on Wednesday, January 23 in the afternoon.  The play is called The Big League.  Please sign the form and return it to school A.S.A.P.  If you are able to drive and chaperone, please fill out that portion of the form.  Thank you.

GRADE ONE SPELLING                                                                                                        
The grade ones had their first spelling test on Friday.  They all did an excellent job!
