We had a great time with Earth Day last week. We released the salmon behind Fulford Hall and then did some water testing with Cate McEwan. Students also had a great time playing on the beach when the tide was out. This week will finalize the roles for Treasure Island and begin practicing in earnest. On Thursday students will begin a cedar basket project that will last for 3 weeks. The baskets and weavings will be placed in the forest by the Outdoor Classroom. Also, on Thursday night we will be having the class sleepover. I am sending a note home Monday about the event. It should be lots of fun! I still need couple of parents to volunteer to do an activity with a group of students. Let me know if you are interested.
