Happy Saturday to you!  With the ski trip yesterday, the blog post is coming out a bit late!  We had a very busy and productive week here in the Grade 5 classroom.  We spent time with our buddies making a Valentine’s craft and worked hard writing and preparing for our assembly on Wednesday.  The class did an AMAZING job!  I have some photos below for you to enjoy!  This Monday we will be ready to hand out our compost bins and form green teams.  These teams will pick up the intermediate departments compost on Fridays.  They will empty, clean and return the bins and dispose of the food into the Highroad garden’s compost bin.  I will be busy taking pictures this week so I can submit our project to the Green Games next week!  Very exciting stuff!

Newspaper Needed:  We need to add newspaper to the garden compost bins so I would love to have students bring in some newspaper for us to use.

Skating on Tuesday:  Please remember to send along skates (if you have them), a helmet and warm clothing for our skating trip!  Our skate time is from 10:00 – 11:00 and you are welcome to join us!

Class Economy Prizes:  Our prizes are getting really low – especially the edible ones!  If you could donate something to our class economy, that would be appreciated!

Munch A Lunch:  Munch a lunch is open for our February Hot Lunch Day!  Pork sliders are on the menu!  Sounds delicious!

Valentines Dress Up & Student Names:  On Friday students can wear valentine colours (pink, red, white).  We will also spend some time handing out Valentine cards in the morning.  Student names will be put into planners this week.

Missions Collection:  We are collecting small shampoo, toothpaste and toothbrushes for the missions trip this month.
