What's New in One and Two? January 25 - 29, 2016

OWL VISITORS COLLECTION
Our class will be having some owl visitors next month (February 17) from the Wildlife Haven Rehabilitation Centre.  They have a list of donation items they need on an ongoing basis.  I was hoping that our class could collect one of these items to give to the visitors when they come out to our school.  The item I was thinking about is canned, wet cat food.  If you and your child would like to donate a can to this project, please send a can of wet cat food to school before their visit (Feb. 17).  I am guessing that rehabilitating owls eat cat food (Who knew?).  Thanks for your help.

JANUARY CHAPEL THEME
The backpack item for this month's chapel is a cellphone (prayer).  We talked about prayer and how we can call on Jesus when we need help.  Our class made a large version of The Lord's Prayer, one word at a time,  which is the prayer that Jesus taught his disciples.  It is hanging up in the chapel area.

 
READING GROUP - SKIT
One of our reading groups put on a short skit for our class and the Grade 5/6 reading buddies last Wednesday.  It was "The Three Little Pigs" and they did an excellent job.  BRAVO!

 
LEGO PARTY
We had our Lego Party on Friday.  It was lots of fun and I learned a lot about giving a LEGO Party. (You definitely need to schedule more than one hour.)  We started off with a short Lego video for inspiration.  Then everyone designed and built their own creations.  We took a short walk around the classroom to look at everyone's designs and I took pictures.  Next week we will be doing a "Show and Tell" about these creations.  I think most of the Lego pieces got back to their proper homes.  We also had some Lego-ish snacks.  All in all, I think our first earned class party was a success.
