Today we continued planning out our Native Legend. Our focus was on the main character of our legend. We had to brainstorm ideas about; what their name would be; describe what they would look like and wear for clothes; what Tribe they belonged to; their role in the Tribe; details about their family; what kind of personality traits they could have; how old they are; and whether they are a human or an animal character. Finally we had to come up with a name that we think would best suit our character once we knew all these other details about them.

Today was our last day doing the Mission Impossible course in gym. In Music we are learning to sing "O Canada" in french and we have even listened to "We Are One" in french, the Music Monday song. We have also been practicing reading rhythms and music with mallets on various instruments.

We continued our work in math and Daily 5 today. Then we ended the day with another Tanga art project. We learned how to paint using a splattering technique. Messy but fun!

Students do not have school tomorrow(PD Day)- See you on Monday.

Please look at the following message from the Carnival planning committee:

Bonjour mes amis!

We are looking for parents to assist with our Carnival activities on Tuesday Feb 10. There will be stations set up between 10:30 and 1:30- led by teachers with your support. Volunteers are asked to meet in the hub at 10:30 for a quick debrief, assist a classroom with station set up, stay with that station, and then assist with transporting station materials back in again. 

If you are interested in joining us for our winter celebration, please email Shannon McMaster at Cranston.Volunteers@Outlook.com
