As the year comes to a close, we are finally getting the sunny days we have been hoping for! We enjoyed a great week with lots of fun activities made better by the warm and sunny days. Extra recesses and playground time have been a nice addition to our usually very busy days.
We started the week with some work on our
Poetry Projects, which were due on Thursday. You were given lots of class time to work on the project throughout the week and they turned out amazing! Such creativity in writing and also, your artistic additions added an extra layer to an already beautiful product.
We swam on Monday afternoon and we have one more session next Tuesday afternoon. We also had a visit with our buddies this week and we will have our final time with them next Tuesday after recess.
It was so nice to see you helping your buddy fill out a memory page about themselves, but also, YOU! They are sure to remember their time spent with you this year for many years to come. Make sure you remember to always say hi to them when you see them in the school or on the playground next year as well. They will love that.
We wrapped up our amazing novel study this week.
This book had us feeling all kinds of emotions. It was a roller-coaster! There were funny parts, exciting parts, sad parts and even some suspense. The author did a wonderful job sharing the refugee experience with us by introducing us to characters who were learning about refugees with us. 
It felt like we were one of the kids trying to help Ahmet along with Alexa and her friends. The best part was finding out that proceeds from the purchase of our classroom novels will go to help refugees with food, water and clothing as they escape to find their new lives.
The Grade 6’s had a fun-filled day at Playland on Thursday! Although the rest of us wished we could go, we were very excited for them! While they were riding thrill rides, we played a game of California Kick against Mr. Peter’s class. 
It was a solid game ( even with our smaller class size) and we played hard and well. They won, but that didn’t dampen our enthusiasm or our great sportsmanship!
Our week ended with a fun filled day at Confederation Park! It was great to just to be able to hang out, chat, play, get wet, relax and enjoy each others’ company on such a beautiful day. It was HOT– which was great as it was also the official start to Summer!
Next week we have quite a few things going on and many things to remember. Monday will be our last full day of work. We have some writing, math mysteries and memory book work to complete. Tuesday, we will have some time with our buddies and our last swimming will be in the afternoon. On Wednesday, at 9:30 we will be going to an assembly where we will get a chance to see our Project4Heart mural revealed!
Also, Wednesday afternoon we will be cleaning up our classroom, taking home all of our supplies and work, and watching a movie as a class. Please feel free to bring yourself some extra snacks or a treat to enjoy during the movie!
Thursday will be our last day of school and it will only be 1 HOUR! In that hour we will celebrate our year end by having the MEGA MARKET MEGA SALE! Hopefully you have saved up some mega bucks because there will be some new and exciting items for purchase.
Your Blog response for this weekend is:
How many Megabucks do you have to spend at the sale on Thursday?
Have a wonderful weekend Division 6!
