Welcome to parents and friends of Mr. Wallace's Grade One class at Hartman Public School.
Current news:
- Our current drama unit focuses on the book "The Sneetches" by Dr. Suess. It is about descrimination involving Star Belly Sneetches and Plain Belly Sneetches and the lessons they after a "fix-it-up chappie" named Sylvester McMonkey McBean pays them a visit. Ask your child about some of the drama and writing activities we are doing as we explore this funny and thoughtful story.
- We are reading stories about 'Flat Stanley' — a boy who got squished flat by a bulletin board and can fit now in an envelope and travel around the world. We will be making our own Flat Stanleys to send out soon, as part of our letter writing unit.
