Everyone probably knows that our class has two pet guinea pigs, Peaches and Cinnamon. They are very cute and cuddly. Students take turns in class holding them and taking care of them. Some students are asking about taking the guinea pigs home for the weekend and we've done it twice already. If you are interested please contact me either in person or via email and we can arrange for a "Guinea Pig Vacation." We have homes up til Christmas break so far and we can continue to add names for the new year.

It's been a really wet week. A reminder that students are outside everyday and should have proper gear and shoes/boots for the outdoors. They also need inside shoes for the classroom and PE.
If you have any comments or questions please email me or give me a call (250-537-7711).
