Today I asked two employees from the Canadian National Institute for the Blind to come to our class to discuss vision health.  They delivered a great presentation and the students learned how they can protect their eyes.  Not sitting too close to the tv, wearing sunglasses all year when needed and eating the correct foods were discussed. The students enjoyed seeing the white cane and learned why it is red at the bottom.  Tomorrow they will have a short listening quiz on the material they learned today.

Last Friday we went to the Gurdwara for our special visit.  The students enjoyed a great presentation and learned a lot about Sikhism.  The funniest part of the trip was when Mr. Wadhwa showed us how to wrap a turban.  The students also enjoyed timbits and juice compliments of our Sikh friends. This is where they place their holy book. This is one of the five K's.  This is the comb that Sikh men keep in their hair. Ask your child the K word for the comb to see if they remember.

Hey everyone, Don't forgot to come dressed for printmaking tomorrow, it can be a messy business!  Mary Ann's mom will be coming to help us out. Mme Burton Snow

This is an example of the bottom of a print. It is #44/50. Remember you will have only a couple of prints of your artwork so they will be valuable.

Today our Visiting Artist came to our classroom to begin our work on printmaking. The students completed their first sketch today. Tomorrow we will etch our prints into styrofoam trays and next week we will do the actual printing.

Hi everyone, Grace's mom has agreed to come with us to our field trip on Friday. Thanks so much Ms. Bradley!
