September and October Snapshots

Hello Everyone,

Wow! It’s incredible how time flies! We are in November already and Division 6 has been very busy indeed. Typically, by now I would have already had several posts up and students commenting on blog posts. Unfortunately, we are still waiting for the students’ passwords and usernames from the technology department in order to start. Normally, we would have them by now, so hopefully we will receive them soon.

I want to share with you some great snapshots of happenings of our first two months together. Enjoy!

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! ; )

Getting Ready for the Winter Holidays…

Division 5 was busy at work creating beautiful winter trees against the enchanting Northern Lights as gifts for their loved ones. White feathery owls were brought to life out of toilet paper rolls. Descriptive winter paragraphs were written to create a beautiful image for the readers. Hope you all liked your gifts, Parents! Enjoy the photos of the kids at work.

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.

Awesome Thriller Dancing!

Division 5…you are awesome! You all looked so amazing doing the dance…so much energy and so cool! I’ve already had so many compliments on how well you boys and girl did! Thanks for being super stars! I’m actually going to miss practicing the dance in the morning!

Here is a video one parent took (click on the pic below)…if there are any others I can post them too. Let me know! Enjoy!

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.

October!

October has come and gone! The students are still waiting to receive their blog passwords from the district. Hope they will get them soon. I am certain they will have many things to share.

Division 5 did an awesome job performing the “Halloween Night” song at the October assembly. If there are any pictures or videos out there please let me know and I will put them up to share. I am so proud of you boys and girls! : )

Here are some fun pictures of Buddy Bingo and our afternoon after the assembly. Thanks parents for sending treats to share. It was a fun filled day. Also, check out our trip to Edmond’s pool on October 30. The kids had a great time and was a fun bonding experience while being active. Many of the Grade 5 students were able to smile for the camera and receive their ACTIVE passes that day. Division 5 and I want to thank all the parents who took time out of their busy schedules to drive kids to and from the pool. You all rock!

New Update: Thanks Mrs. G for letting us have your video of Division 5 singing at the assembly! They were fabulous and cute! : )
