Dear Parents,
This morning we had the privilege of participating in an Aboriginal storytelling experience in the gym. Denise Miller from Swansong Storytelling presented a few traditional stories. Below is a clip of what we heard and saw:

We will continue looking at legends and myths as an introduction to story telling and writing.
We have been working towards creating "4-Season" artwork. You will see the final product at Student-Led conferences:
We read to ourselves and to a buddy in the morning.
We are reading and editing with highlighters and love it!!!! Here we are looking for Power Words and the "Short A" sound.
We started sharing today. Students will have the opportunity to share on the week that they are a classroom helper. An orange notice will come home that week. This is a great opportunity for the students to learn more about each other and to practice their oral language skills.
Today we had some time outside to get some fresh air! It was great.
Have a great evening.
Ms. Bakkan
