We have started to do our own journals too. This week we began to do some work in preparation for the spr- ing concert. Today we are going to make some Easter bunnies. Grade 1 Miss Mather's Grade Ones had an en- joyable trip to Robinson's Maple Sugar Bush on Thursday, March 24. We saw the complete maple syrup process and sampl- ed many yummy maple treats. On Thursday Miss Jewitt's grade 1 and their friends from Miss- Mather's grade 1 enjoyed a simply delicious trip to Robin- son's Sugar Bush near Auburn. While they were there, they toured the bush and saw the trees that were tapped and learned about the making of maple syrup. They especially enjoyed tasting the samples of syrup, toffee, and maple sugar candy. They would like to say a big Thank -you to Mr. and Mrs. Robinson and Catherine for the great tour. The Dinosaur Den The Dinosaur Den has turned into the Writer's Workshop this month. Our Awesome Authors have been writing their opinions about television (Could you turn it off for a year for $500?) and freedom (a caged rabbit and a free one), and planning our "Ideal Holiday". We also spent a day in Florida this week. We all "dressed Florida" and enjoyed the warm sun and the sand. Mrs. Smyth brought each of us a fossil shark's tooth to go with the day. Thanks, Mrs. Smyth! Martin Bollinger was our "Special Me" this week, and next is Drew Black. Grade 3 Mrs. Ottewell's grade 3 class have been doing research on the provinces of Canada. We are also working on Easter ac- tivities. Mrs. Graham was in to help us with weaving. Did we ever have fun. We are making belts, scarves and wall hangings.
