Bighouse!
Tomorrow the Gr 4s need to be at Brooksbank by 7:45 a.m. to catch the bus to the Bighouse. I received an email this morning from the Vice-Principal there who had this to say:

"...It is a beautiful, sunny day here in Paradise Valley.  Rather cool though.

It is cool at night, please encourage everyone to pack lots of warm clothes and a blanket that can go inside the sleeping bag.  That way our blankets can be added to the top of the sleeping bags."


Reminder: students need 2 packed bags: in the big one, (eg: duffel bag or similar) goes sleeping bag, pillow and all clothing; in the other, a small backpack which students take on the bus with them, containing rain jacket and rain pants, water bottle, and a snack for the bus. They should wear boots on the bus, but consider packing runners in their big bag.

Grade 5s: While the 4s are at the Bighouse, you'll be joined by the Gr 5s from Ms. Reichert's room, but will be taught in our room.

Homework:
Gr 4s have no homework for this week... but...

Social Studies:
Gr 4: Finish and check the food, clothing, and shelter handouts (due next Tuesday)
Gr. 5: Chapter 3 handout: Part C poster (Th) and Part D paragraph (due next Tuesday)

A final reminder for all: no school this Friday as it is a District-wide Professional Development day.
