March was a real blur, with the break, and several students away on trips, big projects like the storytelling workshops, the extra work going into School of Rock, and myself being away for a bit with my son who was sick. I apologise for not blogging all month, but we are back on track, so expect lots of info to keep us moving as the year really starts to get busy.
Welcome Duvaghn Martin from UofO, as a teacher candidate in our class for the next four weeks. He is going to be with us for part of each day, working with the class as well as with Dana's 2/3 class.
We have the fortune to be involved with Ottawa's first ever Potato Project. Run by Heritage Academy, it is a program aimed at growing food for the local food bank. We are one of a few schools piloting this project, which will see us growing potatoes over the summer. We will be harvesting them in the fall, and donating them all to the food bank. Check out more in the video at the following link...

We are in the middle of our poetry unit. The jingles handed in last week as part of the ad campaigns were the first home project in this unit. We will be starting a song re-write activity this week that you can expect to see at home. It will be due after Easter. We are working towards our Poetry Slam, to be held the week after Easter.
Remember to remind your children that it is still cold weather, and appropriate clothing is needed for days that start off around the freezing point. We are getting many coming to school without coats.
