Happy Chinese New Year! Tomorrow, please wear red as we will be celebrating Chinese New Year together. There is a special assembly in the afternoon. Thank you to all students who helped with the banners for the assembly today, especially Shelley, David and Adrian who stayed in during their lunch break time to do painting.

Tonight, please finish your animal research if not done already so you can begin playing with the Puppet Pals app to make a mini presentation. I think you will find this app a lot of fun to use, as it is interactive and uses voice and your choice of images to tell a story!

Please study the migration information from your blue binder. We will have a “checking in quiz” which will be closed book on Thursday. We did some review today. Please know that I am not checking for tiny details like how many people immigrated to a country. We went over questions I would ask today, which focus on vocabulary and main ideas.

If you are interested in purchasing one of the pencilgrams being sold by the grade sevens, they will be on sale at lunch tomorrow, but make sure you fill out one of the pink forms. There are some available in the classroom.

Everyone did a fabulous job during our Burnaby Art Gallery workshop, learning about First Nations art, the shapes used in their printmaking, and having the opportunity to use a screen-painting technique. Everyone took home their art today, and I will post some on the blog later for you to see.

Tuning In for Friday, Feb. 12th.

Bring in field trip notices, please. They are due Friday. I don’t yet have enough volunteers, so ask Mom and Dad if they can join us!

Have a good night!
