The sun is out and the week is full.  Division 9 has been hard at work creating pieces of art connected to nature and the cedar trees of the Pacific Northwest.  They have also been encouraged by our class mascot, Eyela, to create some Halloween spooky eyes.  The colourful eyeballs are scanning the hallway, seeing many interesting happenings at Clinton School.

The students have also considered ways in which to use the sun to shrink their environmental footprint.  They have thought of many ways to add a bit of walking into their day.  Many of them look forward to walking in their community on Halloween night.

We have been excited to experience a number of buddy activities with Division 5.  This week we will be making chalk Rangoli drawings outside of our classroom in honour of Diwali.  On Thursday, we will have fun with Buddy Bingo.

There have also been many book sharings over the past few weeks.  Students have enjoyed The UnScary Book, Throw Your Tooth On The Roof and The Creepy Countdown.  Please keep the enjoyment of reading going on at home.  Students are encouraged to continue home reading while filling in their reading journal.  Some of the journals should be coming in soon.
