Happy Friday Everyone,

We had our community potluck dinner last night. It was good. All students have participated in music and many got to share the song "Glorious" with families.  Everyone was delighted to try new foods.  The food was delicious and we all had a great time.

We have started reading Front Desk by Kelly Yang for the Global Read Aloud.  The students are beginning to ask a lot of fabulous questions.  We will be using technology to communicate our understanding and thoughts about the book with a grade 5 class from New York City. 

Orange Shirt Day happened on Monday, but we recognized it yesterday. We have been learning about Residential Schools and their effect of many children and their families.  We also created hexagons which displayed what is important to us.

We had the Terry Fox run and did a fabulous job.

The Scholastic Book Fair will continue on Monday.  Please, feel free to send money with your student on Monday and they can have a chance to buy a book and support our library and the chance to have another book fair in the spring.

Parent Teacher Interviews are next Thursday evening from 4 - 7:30, and Friday morning from 8 - 12pm.  There is no school on Friday next week, which is then followed by a week long Fall Break.  

Stay tuned for next weeks update,

Mrs. Mahon's Monsters
