Author Visit!

The primary students of Nelson were so very lucky to have authors Megan Williams and Madison Reaveley visit and read us their books, Don’t Call the Office and I Don’t Want To! in our gymnasium last Wednesday. They shared with us how they write their stories and also answered many of our questions. Division 8 was extra lucky to have them visit our classroom afterwards and help us with wonderful ideas on how to make our Friday Journal letter homes the best they can be! Thank you Megan and Madi!! Click HERE to see pictures and HERE to order a copy of one of their fabulous books!!

Decorate with images of all of your favourite things!
Food, activities, places, people, animals, holidays, etc.

My Special Grandparent

Today Division 8 and 9 students were read Shi-Shi-Etko and talked about the importance of grandparents and other elders in the lives of young people. Students are completing this sheet about an important grandparent in their life. Who are they, what are their interests and what have they taught you? Please go over the questions with your child and share any information that would be helpful with completing the activity.

St. Michaels Visit

On Monday morning, we visited Saint Michaels with Miss Gatenby’s grade 1s   & 2s for our last time this year and sang for the seniors.
I’m so proud of how everyone performed and were so respectful in a much different environment than you’re used to. Way to go grade 3s! I loved watching the seniors sing along with big smiles on their faces.
Thank you St. Michaels for spoiling us with snacks and goodie bags!
