Hats On! For Mental Health Day!
On Wednesday May 3, we will be recognizing “Hats on for Mental Health” at our school. We will be asking students to wear a special hat on this day to help raise awareness of the importance of good mental health. Each May, Albertans are invited to wear a hat to raise awareness of the importance of good mental health. Participating schools will relax their hat rules and encourage students and teachers to build understanding by wearing hats to school. Whether its a sombrero, a fedora or a favorite sports hat, all favorite hats are encouraged. For those students who choose to do so, we will have a collection jar at the front office for donations to the Alberta Mental Health Division of the Canadian Mental Health Association.

Magnetic Inventions:
Today we continued to create an invention that would use the magnetic force of repulsion or attraction. We had to think about our inventions:
-purpose
-magnetic force it would use
-what materials we would use to make it work
We looked at some different uses for magnets:

Charlotte's Web: Chapter 12: The Meeting
We continued reading Charlottes web. A new vocabulary word that we talked about was Terrific. We came up with as many synonyms as we could for Terrific. We also started to make our own Webs using popsicle sticks and glue. Next week we will use yarn to make our own web and we will put special vocabulary words into our web.

We also continued working on our second copy of our Persuasive Letter to Mr. Zuckerman. We wrote one together as a class first and then used our OREO graphic organizer to help us in organizing our writing. We tried to add as many examples or evidence that we could think of to extend our writing and really make Mr. Zuckerman CONVINCED in our OPINION.
