PENGUINS
We will be starting our Penguin research projects this week.  Each student has chosen the name of a type of penguin (there are 17 different kinds which is just perfect for our class of 17 students).  They will be finding the answers to 5 different questions about their penguin using a website called "Penguins Around the World".  After they have finished their research booklets, they will be sharing their information with the rest of the class.

FESTIVAL DU VOYAGER
Today we had a special treat for Voyager week.  We got to taste some bannock and maple syrup as well as some French Canadian Pea Soup.  Thank you to the parents who were able to make bannock and to Mme Christensen for making the soup and organizing this event.  Merci.
