Hello Division 9:

This is our final full week together.  Tomorrow, we will be having a class meeting at 10:00 a.m.  You will be asked to share who you think might be living in the tree house that sits in a tree at my father’s home!  Before you consider the photo I have attached, please have a listen to the story called, Audrey’s Tree House!

I love how creative Audrey is with her ideas.  She reminds me of someone considering, “what are the possibilities?”  She also works very well with her father.  Father’s Day is coming up this Sunday, June 21 which is also the first full day of summer.  Let’s hope we get some summer sun!

On Father’s Day, we get to appreciate all the people in our lives that support and love us.  Anyone and everyone can be a father figure to us.  I know that all of you have special, caring relationships so please consider celebrating that love and kindness this Sunday!

So now that you have listened to Audrey’s Treehouse, here is the photo of a real house in a tree!  Who do you think could be living in there?  What are the possibilities?  What could be in the house?  How long has the home been hanging in the tree?  Be as creative as you want with your ideas and share them tomorrow during our class meeting.

You can then draw an architectural design for your own treehouse.  Make a blueprint.  Think about how you will get up or down from your treehouse!  Consider the tree you will be building in?  Will you have one level or a few?  What colour will it be?  Will you have stairs with a banister?  Will you have blue bed to hide all your secrets under?  Will you have a deck to sip tea on?  Will you have a bathtub to play in? What are the possibilities?

You can share your tree house design with me and I will share it with those in-class this week.  We will be creating our own tree house blueprints.

Please look to the Shape Of The Week for support with ideas for this week.  It is on the top of the blog.  Look for the dates June 15-19! Have fun!

Oh, right…I forgot to share that Clare, Zahra, Selina and I got to have a meeting with Thomas in Korea.  It was 6:20 a.m. for Thomas.  We enjoyed our chat time.  Here are some photos of our experience.
