The write-up on Youtube says that they believed that the orcas were just training a young whale to hunt.

I found this wonderful website from a teacher in Abbotsford (thank you @MauiMickey). Wonderopolis is a fantastic website that contains videos, ideas and information about all kinds of things you wonder about. Enjoy!

We have a new member of our class!  Actually we have 2 new members, one new student and one new honorary member who is only 4 months old.  Baby Gemma and her mom Heidi will be visiting our class once a month.  They will help us to learn about human development and connect us to our community.

Before she arrived we predicted that Baby Gemma would be able to draw pictures, skip rope, walk, colour, talk  and say “Mom” or “Dad”.  We discovered that Baby Gemma is not able to do these things yet but she will do many of them soon!  We can’t wait until our next visit in February.

We are collecting numbers 1 to 100!

We have created a 1ooth Day Wiki that looks like this

and we were hoping that people from all over the world would add to it.

Hopefully we can have the chart completely filled by the 100th Day of School.

We only have 25 more days to get it done!

If you would like to add to the wiki click HERE and click on edit and you can add your name to the chart.

Just wanted to let everyone know that the field trip on Friday has been postponed until Friday, Jan 20th.  If you are able to come with us please let me know.

Today we practiced uploading photos onto our blogs.  We wrote about the penguins in the pictures.  We would love you to check out our blogs and learn something new about penguins.

Our blogs are HERE
