Soapstone and Valentines

With the help of Teacher's Pet, we had a fantastic experience creating beautiful soapstone carvings on Monday. Students were amazed how their creations resembled both the animals and the Inuit art they have studied. Ask your child the steps they took to create their carving. 

It's been a quick half-day today with students enjoying 100th day activities and a Valentine's Day celebration! Thank you very much to those of you who sent in food and treats for our party, and also who sent Valentine's items for students' mailboxes- what marvelous and creative gifts. The kids were thrilled to both give and receive today and the spirit of community and belonging was in full strength. 

Remember this is a 5-day weekend for students, with Teachers' Convention on Thursday and Friday, and Family Day on Monday. I hope you have a wonderful weekend with plenty of family time.
