Round One 🏒

The NHL Playoffs have begun!
We have voted to follow the matchup between the Pittsburgh Penguins and the Philadelphia Flyers!
After each game, we’ll graph the game winning team on a pie chart, the score on a bar graph and keep tallies of the Penguins players goals and assists. I wonder whose prediction will be correct at the end of the 1st Round!?

6 MORE WEEKS OF WINTER!!
Wiarton Willie and his American friend Pennsylvania’s Punxsutawney Phil both saw their shadow, meaning more cold and blustery weather. To see what Nova Scotia’s Shubenacadie Sam did after not seeing his shadow click on the video on the right of the screen!

What will Wiarton Willie See?!

Posted on February 1, 2018 by Ms. Watt | Leave a comment

Tomorrow is Groundhog Day and our class has overwhelmingly predicted that our groundhog in Ontario, Canada will not see his shadow and it will be an early spring! Ms Shi, myself and Joaron have bravely predicted 6 more weeks of winter after Wiarton sees his shadow. Can’t wait to see! Will the other groundhogs behave the same?

CANADA DAY ADVENTURES!

Posted on July 3, 2014 by Ms. Watt | 11 comments

I hope everyone had lots of fun celebrating Canada Day!! I always wish we were still in school for the holiday so we could celebrate together & continue to learn lots of cool things about our fabulous country of Canada! Make sure to answer the poll & share what you did with your family &/or friends!
I went to a bbq & got to visit with one of my very best friends from Simon Fraser University, Allyson. She moved to Baltimore, Maryland with her husband 6 years ago & this was her first time back in 4 years! I missed her! We ate lots of good food & I got to play with her two kids, Connor & Grace. We’ll be travelling down to Seattle for the 4th of July before they get back on a plane to fly home on Saturday. I’ll share pictures of all the cool stuff we’re sure to see as Seattle celebrates their country’s big day!
