Katlyne brought her new puppy, a Labradoodle named Tootsie, in today. She is 12 weeks old, and very gentle and playful! We had a lot of laughs watching her trying to catch her tail and giving everyone kisses! Thank you for bringing her in!

We had fun practicing our new spelling words by printing them out on our friend's back. It was hard to figure out what some of the words were, but it was fun trying anyway! This week's words are a bit tougher for all 3 levels, so we'll have to study a bit more!

Hatching Day! The praying mantises are coming! The praying mantises are coming! Today 50+ babies hatched out of one of the egg cases. It was SO COOL seeing all of the tiny praying mantises! They are brown right now, and you can see their triangular shaped heads and big eyes. Their arms are folded so they really do look like they are praying! Did you know there are about 1800 different species of praying mantis, and that they are usually brown and green, but they can also be white and even pink in colour?!

Today was Music Monday, and we had an assembly first thing to hear and see all of the ways different classrooms in our school practice music. There was singing, dancing, movement, the recorders and Orff instruments, and even skipping to music. It was a lot of fun! Our class sang "The Puffin". We did awesome :)

This week is Chavi's last week at our school :(    .... she will be missed by everyone, especially Mrs. Robinson. We will enjoy the week together and try to create some more lasting memories for all of us.
