Short week, short post

Dear Parents, 

First, a reminder to return your acorn orders as soon as possible. Here are two that were returned on Monday:

 I read with all my SKs yesterday and am over the moon at the progress many are making in their reading. If you feel like you'd like more practice reading at home, shoot me an email about Raz kids. This photo shows a manta ray interrupting one such reading session.



Some of our more recent art is up on the walls. Students used metallic paper to make mosaics on the letters of Klimt's name. The paintings used oil pastels to make patterned backgrounds and central figures. Many students chose to do trees in honour of Klimt's tree of life and there are several houses and portraits as well. Students loved seeing it up and several more were inspired to do another painting today, or finish up their work. Simon's near abstract trees were a favourite of many students when we discussed their work in our circle yesterday.

The trees are middle right
 Finally, student and teacher twins:

I'll do my best to get our next newsletter to you promptly. Have a great long weekend!

Sincerely, 

Ms. Goegan
