Day of Pink
This week we wore pink on Wednesday and revisited some past conversations we've had about what it really means to "Stand up for bullying". On Tuesday, students grade 5 and up attended the Day of Pink Rally at the University of Regina and shared with us their experience. Students listened to a speaker Travis Price, the Day of Pink co-founder, share his story about bullying. Travis and his friend asked students to wear pink in their home town in Nova Scotia, after a student from his school was bullied for wearing a pink shirt. This sparked some good conversations within our classroom about how to recognize bullying and what we can do about it to make a difference.

New April Reading Logs
New April reading logs went home on Wednesday. These new reading logs require students to name the date, book title, minutes read, and collect a parent signature to verify they are putting in the time at home! Don't forget to read up a storm over the break and include your minutes on your reading log!

Easter Egg Fun
Things got a little messy on Wednesday as we had a crafty end to our day while making Easter Eggs with a "sweet surprise" inside! We can't wait for them to dry so we can pop our balloons and admire the finished product!
Have a fun & safe break!
