An Update from Room 117

Our New Project
This week we found out our new project! We watched the story "Bear Snores On", looked at pictures of animals changing colours and hibernating, read the story "Under the Snow" and played hangman to figure it out. We are so excited about it! We started to make a web about all the things we know about Animals in Winter and next week we will start building things about what we know. We will also be going on some field visits in the next few weeks to learn more. Stay tuned for more information.  If you have books about animals in winter at home, any artifacts about winter animals in Alberta or know of any experts, please let Ms. Johnson know.

Dear Snow
We finally finished writing our letters to the snow and telling it why we either loved or hated it. We had some great ideas! If you are in the school, you should come in and take a look at them to see what we did. We will put them up on our blog next week in case you can't get in to see them.

Beach Day/Ice Cream Sale
Today was Beach Day and we got to wear our beach stuff to school! It was funny wearing shorts when there was snow outside. We had ice cream at the ice cream sale. It was yummy!

Pizza Lunch
Next Friday(February 4) is pizza lunch day! We love pizza lunch. Well, some of us don't but most of us do. We get to have our own big piece of pizza. Thank you for ordering it for us!
