The Wild Hearts choir is starting up again this Friday. Intermediate students will be singing from 10:45-12:00 every Friday, including the Pro-D day (that practice will be held at the A-Frame Church.) There will be a final concert on Friday, March 10 at NISS in the Drama Room.
If your child is interested in joining the choir please let Mr. Ogren or Mrs. Brooks Thursday. We need to pass on the names to the principal ASAP.
Jessa brought her puppy Nila to visit the class today.
If you would like to have your kitty or puppy visit the class just ask the teacher for a day that works. My main rule is a parent must bring the animal to class and then they take it home after the visit.

Assignments Due & Test Friday!
The students were given a package/overview of the whole Heritage Project we will be working on over the remainder of the second term for Social Studies.
Students need to decide what country or culture of origin they want to research. If students want to research their first nations ancestry just change the word country to culture in the project.
Most students have completed the Family Tree Portion. The main goal of that assignment was to give students an idea of the choices to work from.
I will be posting the deadlines as we work through the project. Please do not feel that everything needs to be completed this weekend. Start with researching the country of origin. They will have lots of class time as well.
To wrap up the unit, the class will be hosting an “heritage potluck lunch”. The lunch will be a variety of foods from around the world. Students can bring in the recipe and we will create a class cookbook. If you can’t share a secret family recipe, please include the list of ingredients so that students with allergies can make sure the foods are safe to eat. The lunch with probably be around the end of February, early March. A notice will come home a week prior.
I have to apologize for not posting this week’s spelling list. I’m on the road for meetings and don’t have a copy of the words with me.
Friday is going to be a very busy day. It is national literacy day and to celebrate the school be all reading together from 11 AM till noon. Students are welcome to bring their stuffies to school to sit and read with.
