April 29

Hello everyone!
We had our first in-person assembly today. It was very exciting to get to see everyone in the gym together. We also got to see a wonderful video that Mr. Berry made with pictures of our school throughout the year. We were happy to see that some pictures of us with our giant snowman in the video! Our winners this month were very brave and stood up in front of the whole school to show off their awards. Some of our winners even said their own names on the microphone!

After the assembly we had snack and filled in our calendar. We worked on our journal entries about The Barnabus Project. Then we reviewed what we had learned in the beginning and middle of the story. We read the end of the story and talked about the important things that happened at the end. Yesterday, we talked about how a new character was introduced during the middle of our story. We discussed how in a lot of stories, a new character that appears in the middle helps to solve the problem. That was the case in The Barnabus Project! The new character helped the creatures escape from the lab. We drew and wrote about the ending in our journals. 

Yesterday, we used our colour mixing checklist to asses our paintings. If we were missing a colour or technique from the list, we had some time today to add some final details and completed the checklist! By the time we finished these details, it was already time to tidy up for home!

Reminders:

- Hats on for Mental Health Day is on Wednesday, May 4th. Students are allowed to wear hats in class this day!
