Highlights of the Day:
We began our day with our second last round of Literacy Centres! We then had Library (please remember to bring back your books if you're overdue!), and created little "Glassman" figures out of blue felt and pipeclearners! After recess, we had our delicious Byblo's presentation, where we learned about Canada's Food Guide, and what kinds of food will keep us healthy and strong! We then created our own healthy pita snack (a big thank you to all the parents who donated food for our pitas!) and ran off all that extra energy in phys ed. afterwards. After lunch, we enjoyed Francais with Mme. Pallesen, then read "The Best Story" by Eileen Spinelli and talked about what makes our stories worth reading-- ones that come from our heart! We finished the day by writing in our journals!
Please and Thank You / Volunteer Opportunities:
- We would love to have morning reading volunteers to share books with students one-on-one, from 8:30-9:00 any day that it works for you!
- We would very much appreciate volunteers during literacy centers: Tuesday and Thursday from 10:45 - 11:30, and Wednesday and Friday from 9:00 - 9:30. Thanks for considering!
Winterfest:
The Parkland Community Association will be hosting a Winterfest Celebration this Saturday, February 27th from 12-2PM. Bring the whole family down for some great activities including mini golf, petting zoo, crafts, games, and face painting. This is a free event that is being offered by the Parkland Community Association, and you do not have to be a Parkland resident to attend! While you’re there, come in and register your child for U6-U12 soccer. We will also be accepting non-perishable items for the local food bank.
FYI - Soccer is also open to nonresidents of Parkland.

Hope to see you there!
