Skype Day and a BIG Surprise

Today was the big day. We used Skype to talk to our friends at Oak Lake School!

We got learn all about their birthday centre. It turns out that they have some of the same things that we do like a table cloth and balloons.

They also have some things that we don't have including a wooden cake and cupcakes.

We have both made charts about all of the things that you might need to celebrate a birthday. We compared our charts.

Later in the afternoon we had library and there was a big surprise waiting for us. We got to pick out our very own book to take home.  Mr. W. also gave each student a special book bag so that they could keep their books safe at home. Mr. W. suggested finding one special spot at home to keep our library books so that they don't get lost or damaged.

Special bags made my Mr. W's Mom
Each of the students got to choose their own bag to keep. They were SO excited!






Library books can come back to school whenever your child is finished with them but must be returned before next school day 1 (Sept. 26). The students will only be able to take new books when the previous books have been returned.

It was a good thing though that the kids were able to take home a new book. Renee loves reading sooo much! She got sick, and with the help of the new book, she didn't felt just as bad in missing school.
