Olivia was the worthy recipient of a bronze medal in her Musical Theatre yesterday. She was up against a daunting 100 other participants, and she wowed the judges with her piece! Congratulations, Olivia!

Buddies in action...
Here are some images of the Buddies period this morning (only half of the class, the other half travels to 2M). 5G helped their Buddies write about endangered species.
Safir wins Bronze in the Kiwanis Music Festival!
Our very own Safir delighted judges with his violin piece "La Cerentola" by Charles Dancla (the piece is also known as 'Cinderella'), and brought home third place! We're proud of you, Safir!

Monday, April 7th
Hello! We had only a handful of 5G students today (the others were busy snow shoeing Grouse with Montreal buddies!) so we caught up on Science Fair work and Picasso art pieces.
This week, comprehension questions for Holes Chapters 6 and 7 are due tomorrow (Tuesday, April 8th). There will be a quick quiz on Wednesday for Chapters 1 through 7 to ensure we begin this novel with a firm understanding of the material (much more fun activities will soon follow!)
Spelling words this week (quiz on Friday)
Please return Green Camp Squeah forms as soon as possible. As you begin to plan for packing (the back of the white sheet provides you a comprehensive list of necessarily items), remember that students will be responsible for carrying all of their luggage themselves at all times, sleeping bags and all - so do not over pack! Also, please note that students are not permitted to bring their own food (although the mice would love it, I'm sure). Please do not hesitate to talk with me if you have any questions!
Class photos are just a few days away! This Wednesday, April 9th be ready with big smiles!
We will soon begin a new unit on Canadian Government and the history of our Confederation. Wherever possible, making connections with your child in this topic area will help with their understanding. Watching the news together and talking about political parties would be a natural conversation starter if you're looking for ideas!
Enjoy your week!

Art lessons go abstract
On Friday afternoon, 5G will take some time to explore the life and works of the one and only Pablo Picasso. Here is an excellent website where you can design your Picasso portrait using his signature facial components. Remember that his work often depicts one face looking both forward and sideways, so consider adding in a similar flair to your own work! Reproduce your creation with pastels for a stunning fridge adornment...
