A Quick Update

Just a few quick notes, as I am at home sick today and should be in bed resting:

- Students went on a walking trip with their care partners in Mme De Tilly's Grade 4/5 class today in order to deliver some class-made valentines to members of the community to show kindness for others. 
- Students will be visiting the Seniors at the Cosmo's Seniors Centre this Friday to sing a song together with Mme Hada's class and share a book or two with the seniors in attendance.  We will be there from 12:45-1:30 and, although volunteers are not required, parents are welcome to join us.  Madame Hada and I  are trying to make this a biweekly event. 
- A parent shared an "app" for iPhone that came in handy while working on the home reading and I wanted to share it with you.  It's called iTranslate and there is a free version available on iTunes.  You can type in a word in French and see the translation in English and hear it said in French.  I hope that some of you will benefit from this resource. 
- There is no school for students next week.  School will resume on Monday, February 25th. 
- I hope to blog some more soon as I have many other things to share with you so stay tuned for more information!
