EVERYTHING PENGUINS
Our life-sized penguin portraits are posted in the hallway.  They are arranged as a giant graph of penguin sizes, smallest to largest. 
We will be having our PENGUIN PARTY on Friday this week.  The students can dress in black and white clothes (or grey or blue).  They may bring a stuffed penguin to school (or a killer whale, seal, fish, anything kind of related?).  We will be having a snack of Penguin Parfait and watching the movie "Mr. Popper's Penguins".  We have finished reading the book and everyone has presented their research projects to the class.
Here are the paintings with their artists.

WE CARE KITS 
Please send in your items for the We Care Kits.  We would like to present them to the CLWR (Canadian Lutheran World Relief) representatives during our chapel service soon.

AFRICAN DRUMMING
Last week we had a special guest come to our school.  His name was Mr. Evans Cofie and he comes from Ghana in Africa.  He taught a number of workshops with each class during the week.  The children learned about the drums and how to play them.  He also told amazing stories complete with sound effects.  Ghana is the country we will be studying during this year's Country Week at the end of March.  Thank you Mr. Cofie and the Artists in the Schools program.
