Special Visitor by PC Can you believe the students are over half way through their week already? Our day got off to an unusual start as you may have guessed by the picture of the day!  Sparky the Fire Dog and his friends from the Fire Department stopped by to make sure we knew some basic fire safety and fire prevention tips.  Do you know 2 ways to get out of your house if there was a fire?  Where is your family meeting spot?  Does your smoke detector work?  Remember "Get out and Stay out".  After our assembly we did a quick review of the origins of thanksgiving.  Do you remember the name of the boat that the pilgrims came on?  Where did they leave from?  After recess we had language arts with Mrs. Hill.  We played guess the covered word, did daily 5 activities, broke into reading groups, and we had a writers workshop where students wrote in their journals.  After lunch we had guidance with Mrs. Mackenzie.  She talked about the different parts of the brain and what those parts do.   We also worked on mindfulness and resting our brains.  In PE we worked on some soccer skills and played a game at the end were I saw alot of goalies!  Did you score a goal for your team?  We finished off the day reviewing some fire safety facts and some thanksgiving facts.  Do you remember why said that our thanksgiving is different from the one in the USA?  Tomorrow is hot lunch and it is the last day of school for students this week!  Teachers have meeting on Thursday and Friday.  Get lots of rest tonight and I will see you in the morning.
