Highlights
We learned about water, the water cycle and the importance of not polluting our water during our Water for Life presentation this afternoon.  Thank you to our volunteers who assisted with this activity!  During Social Studies we learned that natural resources are useful materials that come from nature.  We learned about some important natural resources in Iqaluit, such as, Arctic char (fish), caribou, seals and cloudberries.  During writing, we are finishing our treasure chest stories.  

Important Information 
As part of our virtue of Generosity, we are putting together socks for people in need.  You can bring a sock stuffed with items or bring any of the following items which will then be put into socks: small hairbrush or comb, dental floss, fingernail clippers, tweezers, sunscreen, bus passes, toothpaste, toothbrush, soap, deodorant, hand cream, travel size shampoo and conditioner, hand sanitizer, bandaids, hand warmers (hot pockets), etc.

Important Dates
Monday, Dec. 18- Last day to bring stuffed socks for the Alex
Wed, Dec. 20- Winter concerts-see Mrs. Zaharichuk’s blog for additional info.
Thurs, Dec. 21-Cedars Deli Lunch (if ordered)
Fri, Dec. 22- Professional development day (No school for students); Enjoy your winter break!

Homework
-Record any minutes read on your Read-a-thon sheet
-Continue to review spelling words
-Practice your math doubles (e.g., 1+1, 2+2, 3+3, etc.), ten friends (e.g., 1+9, 2+8, 3+7, etc.), doubles plus or minus one strategy (if 8+8=16, then 8+7=15 because it is one less)

Ask me about:
What did you build during the Water for Life presentation?  (Community)  What happened when we sprayed our community with pollution?  Where did the pollution go? (Into the ground water)
What else did you learn about water today?

How can you conserve water?
