WELCOME BACK

It was a wonderful fall break and now we are back ready for more learning!

THIS WEEKS WRITING ASSIGNMENT:
1) Answer the two questions about "Being Caribou" the movie we watched before break. Each answer needs to be about half a page. I don't need a good copy, a rough copy is fine. Do your work in your creative writing journal.

Due: Friday for homework check

THIS WEEKS SPELLING WORDS:

1. grizzly bear
2. cougar
3. caribou
4. millipede
5. white tailed deer
6. mule deer
7. snowshoe hare
8. mammal
9. amphibian
10. reptile
11. mayor
12. alderman

bonus: porcupine

* Why doesn't mayor and alderman have a capital? If we said Mayor Bronconnier, then we would need a capital. Just saying "the mayor is here" would not require a capital.
*Why don't the animal names need capitals? There is some disagreement about whether to capitalize animal specie names. Most sources I researched stated that animal specie names DO NOT need to be capitalized, so we will stick with that.

ZOO TRIP:

I just want to say "way to go" in regards to your behaviour at the Calgary Zoo yesterday. You were excellent representatives of the school and you made us teachers proud! I have pictures from our day and I will show them to class ASAP (as soon as possible).
