Taking action in the world

What busy times we have had!  Your War and Peace newspapers were very good and we have been so busy we haven't even had a chance to look at them together.  Last week we had a very interesting visitor, Alison Bird, who told us about the Nepal Library Foundation and I know that you are all looking forward to selling the Paperblank journals and raising money for this worthy cause.  But of course first we have been busy selling Vow of Silence face masks.  I just came back from buying more as we have reached our goal of selling 100 (twice as many as last year).  We have raised over 160 dollars that will be donated to our village project in India.  Tomorrow is our big afternoon and I know we will be thinking of all the children who are still affected by war and poverty who don't have the rights that we enjoy.  Also you have been making Trudeau a peaceful place by your work as hall monitors and peer helpers.  Well done, Division Two (I know I still haven't switched this blog).

Flanders Field

I just found this website from the composer of the beautiful version of In Flanders Field that you learned in choir.  I thought you would enjoy visiting the site. 

Vow of Silence

November 30 is the day when  children and adults from all over the world will be taking a vow of silence to show how many children around the world have no voice, are lacking the basic rights that we in Canada take more granted.  For more information just go to this website.  Watch the video and learn and share the facts.  I am enclosing a pictures from Trudeau's vow of silence afternoon last year!  It was lots of fun-my class even had a silent PE period!!!

War and Peace

We had a very nice Remembrance Day assembly last Thursday so I thought I would post a few pictures.  You may want to use them in your War and Peace newspapers!

Halloween...

 It's everyone's favorite time of the year.  Here's a few pictures of you with the buddies working on their sticker pictures and stories.

  I forgot to take pictures on our visit to JO's haunted house.  I must have been too wet and scared. Today I forgot my camera at home.

 I had lots of trick or treators at my house tonight.  My favorite was the dog that came in costume. 

My neighbours  had spectacular fireworks.  I hope you all had fun!
