February 9th - Talent show preview - student who want to be in the talent show sign up and perform at lunch February 12th, Monday - Family Day - No school - Enjoy some valuable family time. February 13th, Tuesday - 100th Day of School - We will be doing some special activities in class. February 14th, Wednesday - Valentine's Day - Pink, Red and white day at school. Students can wear pink, red or white to school. Students may bring Valentines to hand out to the whole class. February 16th, Friday - Chinese New Year, bringing in the year of the dog. Talent Show, in the gym at lunch recess time. February 22nd, Thursday 11:00 - Grade fours and grade twos are busing to the symphony Students have had one Genius Hour and have their second hour tomorrow. Students are encouraged to do a project on something they like to do, or have always been interested in etc. The idea is to dig deeper into a topic. For example, if a student likes to draw, a good project would be 'Can I draw a running horse?'. Then the student would research how to draw one and through practice, they would keep getting better at it. The presentation would include the research they've done and all of the practice drawings they did to get to the one that they are most proud of. Some students are still having a difficult time choosing a topic and may need some assistance from home. I can't wait for to see all of the projects. We will have class time every Thursday for Genius Hour and the presentation day is Friday, April 13th. I hope to see lots of parents on the presentation day. Thank you for all of your help and support! Barb Gleeson
