Word of the day: teminate
Our trip to the museum this afternoon went very well; I recommend a visit to everyone!
Our Aboriginal games session was very good, as well. All the students were given an eagle feather (provided by Marla Pollock - thanks, Marla!). Our presenter explained that receiving an eagle feather is a great honour in the Aboriginal culture. People who graduate from high school or university often are awarded eagle feathers. Our presenter told the class they were getting theirs because of all their hard work in Grades 1 and 2 and to honour their graduation into the next grade.
Please send in wrapping paper asap for the journal covers. Thanks!
Our trip to investigate aquatic life in Cottonwood Slough has changed. We will not be going to the slough, as Mme. Paulette visited there on the weekend and found it to be too flooded to merit a safe and worthwhile look at pond life. Instead, we will leave the school after our regular lunch period and hike up toward the slough. If the weather permits, we will carry on around the Sawridge loop and pass the fairy tree on our way back to school. (We'll do this even if it's raining just a little.) If we find the weather changes for the worse or is too much to handle once we've started hiking, we'll turn around before going on the Sawridge loop and double back to the school. If it's pouring rain before we even start, we'll just stay at school. (Cross your fingers for decent weather!)
