GO CANUCKS GO!!!

Posted on May 6, 2013 by Ms. Watt | 1 comment

*sigh* Fingers crossed…
Division 9 has been hard at work transforming our classroom into a Canuck Cheering Zone. Putting to work our artistic skills to create Canuck borders & our math skills to create graphs of all different kinds! We’re using pie graphs, bar graphs, pictographs & tally charts to record games won, goals scored, players points & our predictions.
Tomorrow Nelson will be alive as the Canucks head into a Do or Die Game 4 in San Jose, with staff & students wearing Canuck gear, making game predictions (thanks Mr. Klarich!), buying tickets to win an autographed Sedin jersey (thanks Leadership!) & I cannot wait til everyone joins together to sing The Hockey Song (thanks Mrs. Heighton!). Nelson Spirit is at its peak!Let’s get our Canucks back to Vancouver for Game 5! Go Canucks Go! Go Canucks Go! Go Canucks Go! Go…

Esso Cup

On Wednesday, April 24th we were incredibly lucky to have the Edmonton Thunder visit us at Nelson. We welcomed them in our gym with our signs held high, showing our Nelson Spirit! The team autographed signs & pennants before being introduced & seeing a power point full of pictures of their team’s great accomplishments! After the assembly, the girls came around to autograph our planners and answer all of our questions. We wished them luck & then they were on their way to an afternoon game!

After lunch, the BP team from Nova Scotia came to our classrooms & handed out hockey puck erasers & shared their team cheer with us. We met them again during gym class when some team members practiced passing around the puck & shooting with us. What a cool experience!

The best part came on Thursday, April 25th when we went to Bill Copeland arena to cheer on the Edmonton Thunder to a 3-2 win over Quebec! Division 9 had front row seats to all the excitement & were right next to the player’s bench so we got to high five them as they left & returned to the ice each period. Lucky us!

Last Week we met up with our buddies for a short walk up Nelson. We were in for a treat ~ our big buddies were our teachers for a short drawing lesson! Surrounded by a dozen cherry blossom trees, our buddies taught us how to sketch the beautiful blossoms. Click on the blossom tree above to see us at work!
