We had an exciting start to our week meeting with our grade 1/2 buddies.  We watched a small part of the Bee Movie to introduce the topic to our students.  We followed up with a scientific video that told us facts about bees and how important they are.  We found out that without bees we would not have fruit, vegetables, flowers, plants, trees, cotton and so many other things that are important to us.  We brainstormed for what we think we already know about bees, what we want to know and then we came up with a big question to explore.  Our question is: "HOW CAN WE HELP BEES?"

Tomorrow our grade 4 students are going to RT Alderman for a school visit and a play put on by the school. Please return your child's form of you have not done so already.  The grade 3 students will stay with Miss Jackson and Mrs. Cooper will take the grade 4 students.

In our read aloud today we had the discussion question, "What would it feel like if you didn't have a special person that you could talk to?"  

REMINDER: Swimming forms are now past due if you have not sent those in please send them tomorrow.  Thank you
