Happy Valentines and Family Day!

Thank you,

WOW! We have the most thoughtful students in our class!  Everyone should be coming home with a HEART FULL OF LOVE from their classmates and myself.  Students created beautiful (repurposed) hearts and others handed out treats today!  Thanks to everyone for being so kind and for the families that provided treats.  What a surprise!

As a class we delivered 'thank you' hearts we made with our grade 1 buddies to school support staff! This made some staff members tear up!  I was so proud of our students!

Democracy at Work:
The Charity we will be supporting for our Learning Partnership was decided today.  After carefully viewing each classes' top Slideshow and voting.  The top charity agreed upon by the majority of grade 4 students is the Canadian Red Cross!  Thanks to everyone for doing their best reading, research, and creating persuasive Slideshows.  Every student learned so much with this process.  All charities were so worthy!

HOMEWORK CHALLENGE - 
Try to do a few RANDOM ACTS OF KINDNESS over the long weekend.  We want to share these when we come back on Tuesday and see if we make the world better more than 50 times!

Reminder:
We have Scientists in School (for Simple Machines) on February 20th in the morning.  Thanks to those who have gone to Power School and let me know you have paid.  If you haven't paid yet, please do.  Thanks again!

Jump Rope for Heart

Our kick off assembly for Jump Rope for Heart really made our hearts skip a beat! Thanks to the Calgary Skip Squad for coming and demonstrating their amazing skipping skills and endurance with us. We also appreciated Megan from the Heart and Stroke Foundation sharing all about how we can keep our hearts healthy. She shared some simple tips such as using the acronym EASY. Ask your child to tell you what each letter stands from.
