10 Black Dots
After reading the book 10 Black Dots by Donald Crews, we had some surprise Grade 8 students from Mr. McMillian's class came to visit and help us create our own dot drawings. Students incorporated anywhere from 1-10 dot stickers in their drawings. After their drawing was complete, they enjoyed some quiet reading time.
The next day, students used the Promethean Board to create pictures using dots.
The Message Fairy
This week the class received an email from The Message Fairy saying she was too busy to write The Morning Message. She asked the class if they would be up for the challenge of writing their own messages and sharing them with the class. Many students took on this challenge with great excitement, some choosing to work independently and some in partners!
Day of Pink
On Wednesday, we celebrated Day of Pink. As a class we brainstormed what was special about this day and why it is important to wear pink. We watched a short movie about how Day of Pink began as well as read the book My Princess Boy by Cheryl Kilodavis.

Community Inquiry
We began an inquiry into our community/neighbourhood this week. We took advantage of the beautiful weather and went on a walk. Students were challenged to find as many numbers as they could. Next week we will discuss the importance of these numbers followed by looking at the different buildings in our community and their purposes.
