Dimitry Melman will be the Artist in the School from April 2-17. He will teach the students how to create distinctive artworks made with pieces of ceramic tile.

The One and Only Ivan

 The Grade 3/4 classes had a great time reading the book called the One and The Only Ivan written by Katherine Applegate and we celebrated with a party and learned the following song.


I'm the one and only Ivan!
I am alive in the Exit 8 Big Top Mall and video Arcade,
I sit in my domain,
and watch TV,
and draw,
and paint,
Swapping stories with Stella and Ruby
about the way things used to be.....
I'm the one and only Ivan!
