Awesome Animal Totems

For the past little while, we have been talking totems. We have discovered all about their history; who made them, why they were made, where they were made, etc. We looked at various animals that are often found on a totem and each student chose 5 animals to put on their own totem based on characteristics that they shared with those animals. Students then drew their totem (with an emphasis on shading and dimension) and then sculpted them into 3D sculptures. They are so impressive!!! And today, students wrote their very own legend about their totem! I can't wait to read them as I know they are just going to be fantastic! I am so proud of all the hard work you have put into your totems!

I am on bad roll with my awesomeness; perhaps you can forgive me since I have been so sick!

Shopping at the $ Store

Shopping at the Dollar Store is right up there with having a day off or going on vacation. I love, love, love the $ store! It seems incredible that so many things can be $1 (or $1.25 in some cases). Every time I visit, I find something new and magical. My favourite is the hair accessories, I don't think I ever go in without buying something for Autumn's hair. 8 pairs of barrettes for $1? Awesome!

Getting a Hope you feel better soon card when you are sick

You feel miserable. You are coughing, sneezing, your head hurts. You are pretty much ready to succumb to the pain when all of a sudden you are handed a card that says "Hope you feel better soon". For a moment, all is right, you may still be coughing and sneezing, but you know that there is a light at the end of the tunnel. A.....A.....Awesome!
