Hello everyone, happy Monday. We had a great today. Mr. McCallum went on Skype today and talked to his brother Chris who lives all the way over in Beijing, China!!! It was amazing. He picked up his computer and showed us his school.  Chris even showed us the gym which was bigger than some of our houses! We also got to ask him a few questions. Do you remember how to say hello in Chinese? Mr. McCallum talked about increasing patterns or growing patterns today.  They are a little bit difficult to understand so we will continue to work on them. We also continued to read The Mouse and the Motorcycle.  We are on chapter 4. We dicussed how to make connections when we are reading. There are still some parents who have not sent in the $12 student fee required here at Ian Baillie.  If you have not sent it in please do so as soon as possible.  Spelling tests went home today to be signed as well as a new list. Do you remember what we did in art class today?
