Retirement...

This morning we were told about how Mrs. R is retiring at the end of the month. We had to think about what might people do when they retire or what might Mrs. R do once she retires? We used the dictionary to look up retire and found out it means when someone withdraws (or stops) their employment. We had to write 5 sentences in our journal about our ideas and then draw a picture. Some of our pictures and writing will be used in the assembly for Mrs. R next week. It was very interesting to hear thoughts about retirement and hopefully give Mrs. R some ideas to fill her days. Some of our ideas were:
- She could go on a trip to India
- She could go to her favourite restaurant
- She could get paid money from the government
- She could go to the beach
- She could go home and rest since she is so tired

Mr. Fisher's class had library today. If you are in Mr. Fisher's class, practice reading your library book by using only the pictures.

This afternoon we continued our work with Mrs. G's class. Some of us tested our machines and wrote about what worked well, what didn't work and what improvements we could make. Others continued their work on writing a letter to Willy Wonka. We will be mailing our letters next week and will be crossing our fingers that we hear back from him!

Reminders:
- Ms. Binks's class has library tomorrow
- Make sure you are practicing your 50 words for our test on Friday!
