Science
The question on the test that was the most challenging has how plants and animals are INTERDEPENDENT. What does interdependent mean?

When living things are interdependent, they need each other. They survive better if both are there. There are lots of examples in our school yard. A bee depends on the flower for nectar, and the flower depends on the bee to pollinate it so it can reproduce.

Today we viewed a music video by the Trews, a Canadian band from the Nova Scotia. The song was the "Highway of Heroes". Share with a parent where the Highway of Heroes is found and what happens on that stretch of the highway. 

Here are the lyrics to the song:

Highway of Heroes

The Trews

The day I shipped out,
They numbered a dozen.
Upon my return,
Were a hundred or so.
From the coast and from the prairies,
I bet they keep coming.
add one more name from Ontario.

Carry me home down The Highway of Heroes.
People above with their flags flying low.
Carry me softly, down The Highway of Heroes.
True Patriot Love,
There was never more.

I served with distinction,
No visions of glory.
I served without question,
Or personal gain.
Seek no justification,
Its not part of my story.
and it offers
No comfort to the ones who remain.

Carry me home down The Highway of Heroes.
People above with their flags flying low.
Carry me softly, down The Highway of Heroes.
True Patriot Love,
There was never more.

I took up my vocation,
I was called by my nation.
Without hesitation,
My answer I gave.
Now I am not wondering,
the things that I might have been.
I'm no consolation,
To the forgotten brave.

So Carry me home down The Highway of Heroes.
People above with their flags flying low.
Carry me softly, down The Highway of Heroes.
True Patriot Love,
There was never more.

Carry me home down The Highway of Heroes.
People I love with their heads held low.
Carry me softly, down The Highway of Heroes.
True Patriot Love,
There was never more x 6
