Hello families and friends,

Today the students worked through two rotations of our magnet centres.  Ask your child what experiments they worked on today.  Our work with magnets will continue next week in a different fashion, when we work with our artist in residence, Jenny Dale.  This work will be taking place over our entire three-day week.

Because next week is so full of different activities planned for the students (with Lion Dancers, Carnivale, and our artist in residence), we will not be having any large Valentine's Day celebration.  The students will be able to decorate and design a paper bag to put their valentines into, and then we will make some time at the end of the day on Wednesday to hand them out.  Due to privacy reasons, we are unable to send home a class list of names, so we ask that the students just make out generic valentines or do the names of the students themselves.

On March 31st, our classes will be going on a field trip to Heritage Park to continue our work connecting the past to the present.  If you know that you would be available to volunteer for that day please email me at <gasoulliere@cbe.ab.ca.>.

On Wednesday February 10, our class will be heading outside in the afternoon to participate in the Carnival Sports activities.  To help everyone warm up after our outdoor activities, the Carnival committee has purchased enough Hot Chocolate and cups for each class, but we will need your help to get these drinks made.  If you are available to help prepare and serve hot chocolate to our class, please contact us for more information. Merci Beaucoup!

Have a great weekend!
