April 10

This week students are continuing to work on building their models of a sustainable community using their blueprints as a guide.  These will be on display as a part of our celebration of learning which focuses around our inquiry into communities and sustainability.  We also looked at the art of Ton Schulten and how he uses colour, shapes, tints and shades in his artwork.  We started a new piece using his style as a model to depict a city landscape.  Students are continuing to write poetry using different styles.  Today we explored how poets and other writers can use similes to describe objects in their writing.  Ask your child about how they used similes to describe ice cream.
Students also attended our kickoff assembly this afternoon for Jump Rope for Heart.  Fundraising envelopes were sent home in their pink folders.  Please return these on or before April 25.
