Yesterday we had the opportunity to meet Martin Springett at McVeety School. He read us a book, told us some stories and showed us some pictures of Kate and Pippin, a dog and a deer who became friends. There are some videos of Kate and Pippin on Youtube below.

There is a lot going on this week!
We are collecting money for prostate cancer and celebrating Movember on Friday by wearing moustaches. Students are welcome to wear/create moustaches to wear on Friday.
We are also excited about the GREY CUP! Everyone is encouraged to wear green and white to support our Saskatchewan Roughriders on Friday along with their moustaches.
Please remember to return the permission slips for our trip to Dr. Perry school on Monday where we get to meet an author.
We are learning about the life cycle of crocodiles in class and today our wondering questions took us online. Here are a few websites to learn more about crocodiles:
Crocodiles - National Geographic for Kids

Tomorrow is an exciting day at Grant Road. We are celebrating Education Week with a special visit from John Chick of the Saskatchewan Roughriders! Please dress in green and white.
Tomorrow night is also the Halloween Dance from 6:30-8:30pm. This is a fun event put on by our Grant Road School Parent Association. All are welcome to attend!
All week we are collecting clean, gently used scarves, mitts, toques and jackets to support Geroy Simon's Coats For Kids program. This program provides these winter necessities to students in our Regina community who may not otherwise have access to them.
Remember, we are still collecting socks with missing partners and empty toilet paper rolls to make toys for the cats at the Regina Humane Society. We welcome these items until October 31, when we plan to make the toys. Thank you for all your donations so far!
Here are some cool videos we watched about reptiles:
Rockin' Reptiles
