Library on Monday!

In Social Studies today we looked at Tourism in Canada - people love to see new things!  In Iqaluit, tourists love to see the floe edge.  In Meteghan, there are many colourful boats in the harbour.  In Saskatoon, people visit the Beaver Creek Conservation Area to learn about nature.  What places do you like to take people in our community?

A perfect day to cuddle up in our blankies!

Tasty Tuesday...this was a messy one!

Happy Easter!

There is no school on Good Friday or Easter Monday...see you all on Tuesday!  I'm looking forward to spending time this weekend hunting for Easter Eggs, visiting with family and enjoying some sunshine!

In Social Studies today, we learned the term goods.  Goods are things we make or produce, buy and sell.  Students worked in small groups to find examples of goods produced in their communities.  Some examples were bread & canola oil in Saskatoon, soapstone sculptures & selling fish in Iqaluit, and boats & houses in Meteghan.  What goods can't you live without?
