It’s Astonishing! It’s April Already!

Hello Everybody,

March seemed like a blip in the school year, having had two weeks off for spring break.  The boys and girls are continuing on in 3rd term, knowing the routines so well by now.  I will include some photos taken before the holidays.

Track season has started and I am thrilled that the majority of my class were interested in joining.  They have been training well and have learned to pass a baton and sprint and run longer distances.  Thanks to parent volunteers all students were able to attend our first after school track meet.  What a fun time it was!images

 

 

 

Division 5 was introduced to, “The Greatest Love of All” by Whitney Houston, the song they will be performing in May.  It has such an important and beautiful message.  Boys and Girls, please practice!  Don’t forget to think about what you will be wearing! ; )

Winter Wonderland

On Friday, January 15 Division 5 had an amazing time entering a “Winter Wonderland”.  Snowshoeing was hard work, but fun.  Boys and Girls, what did our guide Phil teach you during out trek through the snow?  What things did you see on our adventure and what was your favourite thing up on Grouse Mountain?  I am very proud of all of you and I didn’t hear anyone tell me they were tired while snowshoeing! Here are some pictures of our day! Click on the snowflakes!snowf

October events

Hi All,

October was a fantastic month.  It is always a busy time as students are learning to be a united class, getting to know each other, and getting into the groove of being in school and learning the routines of my classroom.  We also get to celebrate some fun events like Thanksgiving and Halloween.  The children were excited about working with their buddies for the first time!  I wanted to share some photos of our class.

Where did February and March Go?

Hi Everyone,

2nd term flew by! Right?  We were so busy with finishing up our second term that it made time go by so quickly.  Here are some nice memories of those last 2 months!  Div. 5 got to learn about the game of golf and got to practice their swing and putting.  They did a fun buddy activity with their youngest buddies in kindergarten on the ipads.  Here is the video!  I think their trees made of Valentine hearts are just gorgeous in the hallway.  Also, the  did a fantastic job doing a group Science project on severe weather.  They were extremely creative in writing a skit to teach about their chosen weather/storm.  Having 2 weeks off was awesome for spring break and it was nice to hear about what everybody did when we got back to school.

Some Fun Things To Share!

Hi Everyone,

We’ve had a busy January and already we are heading to our first long weekend since the winter break. Hope you all have a lovely time on Family Day!  What did you do over the long weekend?  Please do tell!

Here are some photos of you in January and February so far.  These are of your cute Buddy Venn Diagrams done with our Grade 3 buddies and then in this album you will find pictures of your lovely dream catchers, you doing a Science Lab, pattern block designs in math, sniffing mystery scents in canisters for a MIND UP lesson, and your Valentine pictures you made with your kindergarten buddies.  Can’t wait for the guide book to come out! Please comment on any of these activities I’ve just mentioned.  What did you learn in Science and Mind Up lately?
