Mail keeps coming despite the weather
by Donna Fielder
and Mike Van Niekerk
What a winter! We've certainly'
had our share of snow, and then we
added some ice just fora change!
The Brookside mail has kept on
coming though, thanks to the
Biemans, and that included a letter
from author Robert Munsch! Much
to . their delight, the Grade 1
- "Munschies"' author study group
had a reply to the letter they sent.
They learned that Bob Munsch likes
to play chess with his computer (he
says he always loses!), and that he
lives in Guelph. He really liked the
BIG letter they sent him!
His first book was "Mud Puddles"
(1979). He now has 25 books. The
newest book is "Wait and See". He
is now working on a book about a
girl who likes to make wishes.
Bob's favorite book is "Love You
Forever". It is also his best seller .(5
million copies!) They also received
an autographed poster and letter.
Mrs. ,Clarke got an autographed
card as well.
An artist has been contacted by
Mrs. Young's and Miss Anguish's
Grade 2/3 class. Eric Beddows, who
illustrated the Zoom books, received
a special package of wonderful
pictures and a. letter full of ques-
tions from the class. They're
looking forward to hearing from
him. They've enjoyed studying the
Zoom books. This class is also
enjoying some great reading in a
novel study unit.
With all this cold weather, the
birds are having a tough time, so
Mrs. Hodsman's class helped them
out last week. They took pine cones
and rolled them in peanut butter
and bird seed to make great winter
bird feeders! Super idea!
Mrs. Worsell's Grade 6 class is
continuing to' read mysteriously.
Their mystery unit is concluding
with individual novel reports, and•
the creation 'of their own mystery
stories..
In' the research department, Mr.
Lobb's Grade 5 students have now
begun their owl unit in the library.
In addition to note -taking practice,.
they will also 'be .learning how to
write a bibliography. Watch for a
wise host of owls to appear in the
halls!
Grade 7 students, geography
group II have completed their jig-
saw groups studying the physical
earth, and will be taking the test
they created this week.

Folks attend birthday party
I was wondering how many .got
their skates out when we had that
icy day. Hope no one took 'a
serious tumble on the. ice, but it
was beautiful wasn't it. The folks
.that are trying to keep their water
lines running aren't finding it that
cute tough. Maybe well have to
do like the northerners bury their
water lines at least 6 feet
underground. The one tried and
true method of keeping the lines
running is to leave then running a
little bit at all times.
