How much is a million?

By Anonymous -
Today I read the students a book called How much is a Million.  The book is quite funny and reinforces the idea of a million, billion and trillion.  This week the students have to look for large numbers in magazines, newspapers and the internet.  I handed out newspapers today to those students who indicated that they did not have them at home.  If anyone else needs a newspaper they can let me know.

David Suzuki Challenge

We started participating in the 30x30 David Suzuki Outdoor Challenge yesterday.  He is challenging Canadians to spend 30 minutes outside each day for 30 days.  Yesterday we managed to get our 30 minutes outside but unfortunately today was pretty miserable.  Hopefully we can have a picnic outside in the weeks to come.  In the meantime, please make sure that your child comes to school with a hat and mittens to ensure they are ready for the cold Spring days we have around here.
