A great start to term three!

Welcome back!
It was great to see everyone looking rested and feeling positive. It sounds like everyone had marvelous vacations (at home and away!). Rocky and I had a great time, we stayed in Vancouver and learned all kinds of new tricks - he taught me how to play fetch in the rain!

Homework:

• Complete your March Break story, remember to only write from third person perspective - due tomorrow
• Complete you Underground to Canada title page
• Bring your revised Science Fair question tomorrow. Remember to use clear language, have one variable and make sure it is something that you can test yourself!

Woo!

What a great way to end the term!

Today we celebrated three things:
1) The beginning of March Break
2) Rodeo Day
3) The publication of 5M's Poetry Anthology











I told Rocky that March Break was coming up and he started smiling and couldn't stop. He told me he was thinking about all the fun everyone is going to have over the next two weeks!

Have a safe and happy holiday!
I hope everyone gets lots of rest and relaxation.
See you in a few weeks!
