Happy Trick or Treating!! Stay safe!!
Halloween
Thank you to all those who brought something for us to share during our Halloween celebration.
Dear Students and family members of Prince of Wales school,
Mrs. McKay’s PoWer Hour is all about giving back and helping others. The first group of people that we have chosen to help, live right in our city. We will be collecting winter coats, boots, hats, scarves, mitts, and snow pants that are gently used.
These items will be for Syrian Refugees from Keeler school in Calgary, where Ms. Georg is now teaching. The refugees have left their homes with nothing but themselves. (Think about it if you did not have a warm winter coat walking out into the snow). Please bring in sizes for age 4 and up. Please help out!
Donations can be brought to Mrs. McKay’s classroom.
Please have all donations here by November 4, 2016

Daily Challenge:
Today we were scientists and were experimenting with wet and dry ingredients. The wet ingredients were Troll Saliva, Monster Snot, Juiced Eyeballs, and Spider Venom. The dry ingredients were Crushed Dragon's Teeth, Powdered Bones, Vampire Toenails, and Unicorn Horn. We were trying to make a bubbling potion with least amount of ingredients. We had lots of failures . . .
P.S. - The picture of SZ was the best picture of the day as SZ was gracious enough to allow me to put up the failure SZ was feeling and that many of the other students experienced as they experimented with the ingredients. We have talked lots about celebrating our failures so that we can learn from them.
