A big welcome to Isabella, who just joined the program this week!
Our last Star Reader was Kelsey!
This week's Star Reader is Eleanor! Congratulations!
In honor of Remembrance Day, our last Book of the Week was "Proud as a Peacock, Brave as a Lion". Following that theme, our twenty-fourth Book of the Week is "A Poppy to Remember", by Heather Patterson.
"How did the bright red poppy that we all wear in
November become Canada's symbol of honoring those who fought for our
freedom on Remembrance Day?
Moving text coupled with
stunning illustrations by Governor General's Award-winning artist Ron
Lightburn explain the symbolism behind the poppy.
A bonus for teachers is the five-page spread all about the poem, "In Flanders Fields," Canada's wartime and peacekeeping endeavors, and the adoption of the poppy as our Remembrance Day emblem." - Scholastic Canada
Don't forget to share a moment of silence tomorrow, to remember all those soldiers who gave their lives for us ...
