This week our class was presenting our extinct animal science project. We learned a lot about why these animals went extinct.  We also learned how animals today face similar threats of extinction and ways to prevent extinction.

During buddies we read a book called The Cool Bean written by Jory John and Pete Oswald.  We also watched a video about the origins of Pink Shirt Day and discussed what kindness is and how to spread kindness to others. Afterwards, we made pink shirts with our little buddies to help remind others to stand up to bullies and treat others the way they want to be treated.

This Valentines Day while we were handing out our Valentine Day cards and our teacher Mrs. Smith handed out compliment mats. A compliment mat stayed on our desks, and our classmates went around and wrote compliments for each other. Before we began the activity we discussed as a class what a compliment is and what it is not.  The main lesson we learned is to always be kind and respect one another.

Yesterday we had guest speaker come to our school to talk with us about growth mindset.  The main character Ned went on an important mission to find his mindset.  Throughout his mission he taught us to never give up, encourage others, and always our best.  He also helped us understand the power of yet, how to spark courage in others, and how to keep learning and growing.  Throughout the presentation we also got to see a number of really cool yo-yo tricks.  Yo-yo’s  can also be purchased online today and tomorrow through school cash and picked up on Thursday and Friday at lunch.  If you would like to learn some of these tricks from yesterdays presentation please visit: http://www.mindsetmission.com/yoyos

Today we got to watch some of the Grade 6 and 7 students give powerful speeches. They all talked about really important matters including global warming, racism, mental health, boredom, the importance of family, and the benefits of travel. Everyone’s speeches were incredible and very insightful.  Every student who presented did an amazing job educating everyone about their topic. I cannot wait to do a speech of my own in Term 3 and again when I am in Grade 6 or 7 in front of a school audience!
