Reminder

Hi Grade 5s,

This is a reminder that the good copy of your autobiography is due on Monday, November 2nd. Remember that a completed autobiography will include:

• rough copy
• peer editing checklist from your partner (what they wrote to you)
• completed Life Map
• autobiography rubric
• good copy of autobiography (of course!)

If you have typed your autobiography at home and can't print it, bring your memory stick to school, and I'll print it here for you.

Have a great weekend!  Remember to be SAFE if you are trick-or-treating on Saturday.  Don't eat any candy until an adult has looked through your loot.

-Ms. Lewis

P.S. I sure do like Smarties... ; )

Symbols of Canada

For the last week, we've been discussing symbols, and how symbols unite us through the shared connections we have with them.

We looked at Kevin Major's Eh To Zed, recording Canadian symbols for each letter of the alphabet.

When we got to "l", we saw "lumberjack".  I reminisced about a cartoon that used to come on TV when I was a child about a log driver (someone who sends the logs down the river).

Thanks to the magic of the internet, I can share the video with you now!

Without further ado, here it is...the Log Driver's Waltz!



Can you imagine seeing this on TV today?
