Nick provided us with some details about the Student Council meeting. He told us about the possibility of a school Dance which may happen. Also, there may be a volunteer opportunity at the Senior's home close to the school. The class had a few questions that they would like Nick to bring back to the Student Council executive when he meets with them later on this week.
In the afternoon, we went out for a walk just before we settled into starting the Reading test on energy drinks. The community walk was meant to calm and relax them. This is very important when the class has no rotary in the afternoon.
Over the past couple of days, we continues our discussions going about Black History Month. I have been weaving our discussions into Canadian History so the students have some context for our discussions. Today we talked a little bit about the Black Loyalists who came from the United States, as former slaves, to fight for the British, along with Underground Railway.
Yesterday afternoon we had a visit from Ms. Zachariah's son, Micha, to talk with our class about Learning Disabilities and how he has learned to cope with ADD. This afternoon I am going to do a refresher on what he discussed yesterday and ask the students for a Journal response. It was a very informative discussion, along with a number of questions from the audience. Here are some photos:

I am going to combine the photos from yesterday's Reading Buddy session with a couple of photos from our outside play from last Friday. The activity we worked on with the Kindergarten students was in honour of the 100th day of school, which is today.
