Here's to the start of Holy Week - the week before we celebrate that Jesus has Risen!  We continue to learn about the Easter Story in a fun way by finding eggs that contain a symbol of a certain part of the Easter story.  There are 2 eggs left to find!

This will be a short couple of weeks as this week we have Good Friday off and Monday next week is Easter Monday!  So, let's get down to business and get a lot done before our Easter break!

We are sad to say, but Miss Holland's time with Camp Wilson will be ending on Wednesday.  We wish her all the best in her future as a teacher!  She has done a tremendous amount of work to be prepared over these past few weeks and our campers have benefited from her creative and engaging approach to teaching!  We will miss you, Miss Holland - thank you and good luck!

HOMEWORK: This week, there will be NO THRoW this short week, so instead, please ensure your child reviews for Social Studies tonight and Math on Tuesday.

Math: Test on Wednesday on Money.
Please review Monday and Tuesday.

Social Studies:  Quiz on Tuesday on the information learned up to this point in the unit.  Please review with your child tonight using the green Social Studies duo tang for half an hour to prepare.  Special focus should be on the many ways the First Nations helped the Early Settlers when they first arrived to the new land in Upper Canada.

As a fun little activity, students will be invited to try a taste "Pemmican" - Buffalo Meat that the First Nations used to pack to go on long hunting excursions. Ask your child how Pemmican was made.  They should be able to give a step by step procedure on how to make this tasty and nutritious treat!  I wonder is this REALLY IS Pemmican, or maybe it's something we commonly eat today that is pretty close to it!

All I know is that if my campers don't eat it, I WILL!  Mmmmmmm!

That's all for now parents and campers!
