Ache Brasil is a group who perform the traditional dances and songs of Brazil. They are   awesome at gymnastics and martial arts and do everything with music and sounds. They also share facts about Brazil and use interesting instruments.The group is made up of cool relaxed people who encourage the audience to have fun while learning. You get to learn, dance, and wiggle. It is a perfect experience for you to listen to new instruments, to dance, and to enjoy! They are Capitol Hill approved!

Where Has The Month Gone?

It is hard to believe September is almost over! Students and teachers are settling into new routines. We’ve made a few changes to our blog menus and look forward to adding ePortfolio links for this year’s students. Digital citizenship and blogging lessons will be starting this week. Paper blogging is one of our first lessons and is always a student favourite, especially when we read/act the comments.

This year we are excited to take part in our first Global Read Aloud. After scouring bookstores for a copy of Lynda Mullaly Hunt’s Fish in a Tree, we have located one! We are hoping to connect with other classrooms during the event and will be visiting the author’s blog to view her Q&A videos. This is a great opportunity for students to continue their development as writers as they connect with others in a moderated environment.

The end of the second term is quickly approaching. The last day before spring break is Friday, March 6. When school began, each student completed an art piece that included their top 3 goals for the academic year.

This is a good time to take another look at your goals, Hornets. Is it time to refocus? Or, are you on the right track?

Graphic Novel Poll

This week we researched the creator of Captain Underpants, Dav Pilkey. We already knew that main characters George and Harold keep readers laughing non-stop. What we didn’t know was that Dav Pilkey was often in trouble at school and spent a lot of time at a desk in the hallway. From his hallway desk, Dav dreamed up and created homemade comic books.

There are a lot of great graphic novels available for children. Let us know your top pick. [yop_poll id=”1″]
