A couple of things I forgot to mention yesterday....
Exciting news!! Eric Wilson, the famous Canadian mystery author, is coming to Galbraith!! He will be here on Monday, February 25th at 9:00am for about 70 minutes. I highly recommend checking out his website: www.ericwilson.com as there are loads of good things there. You can get a free PDF copy of one of his books, "Murder on The Canadian"; the ability to purchase PDFs of his other books for $3; the first chapter of every book he has written; a link to join his mystery club; and much more! I have encouraged the kids to sign out one of the school's 14 copies of his books, or to read one of my copies during class. However, there are not enough copies to go around, so if your child didn't get a copy I recommend the public library. Other suggestions made by the class were to get a copy on an e-reader or to purchase one from somewhere like Chapters. This is not required reading, but it is a good idea to be familiar with Eric Wilson before he arrives.
Don't forget with the week off of school it would be a great opportunity to work on the science invention project. They are due at school on March 11, 2013.
Next Week:
Monday - Family Day - stat holiday
Tuesday, Wednesday - reading week break for staff and students
Thursday, Friday - Teachers' Convention - no school for students
After the Break:
School resumes on Feb. 25th (the same day as Eric Wilson).
We will also be having our science unit test this week. There is a copy of the review sheet on the Grade 4/5 Science page on the Galbraith webpage. Thank you.
Lastly we promised the students today that we would post the workouts to Tone-It-Up Tuesday. We mainly use a site called BackOnPointe. She is a dance instructor and has designed workouts to be done without "a gym". For the most part, the students are enjoying the workouts and I hope you too enjoy their tiredness when they come home!
