Halloween at Nelson

Posted on October 30, 2022 by | Leave a comment

I hope everyone is looking forward to celebrating the spooky season at Nelson tomorrow! We will be starting with a costume parade at 9:00 and then the intermediate assembly followed by the primary assembly. Division 8 will be performing the Monster Mash at both assemblies and I will be recording it for families to watch afterwards. I’m so proud of the work all the work your kids have done learning the dance. After the assemblies, we’ll be doing some work before our Halloween party in the afternoon.
If your child would like to wear their costume at school, please have your child arrive at school wearing it so they are ready to go at the bell for the festivities. They are more than welcome to come with a change of clothes so they can change out of their costume after the assemblies and keep it clean for Trick or Treating or other activities Monday evening. I will keep them safe and dry in the classroom.
If you would like to bring something to share with the class during our afternoon party, please ensure it’s individually bagged or packaged.
The PAC will also be selling Halloween treats on Monday to raise money for Grade 7 activities. Please bring your loonies and toonies for some spooky treats!
Any questions, please contact me at stephanie.watt@burnabyschools.ca
As always, thanks so much for your support!

Save the Turkeys!

Posted on October 24, 2022 by | Leave a comment

Poor turkeys don’t want to be eaten on Thanksgiving, so Division 8 students were given the task of disguising their turkey! Using anything they could find around home, they dressed their turkeys so that they wouldn’t be found and put on the table for Thanksgiving dinner.

The turkeys are now safely hidden in our classroom. *whew!*

❄️ Winter Break ❄️

Posted on January 4, 2022 by | Leave a comment

Happy New Year Division 9!! I hope everyone enjoyed their two week break! I wish we could be sharing stories together now, but until I see you next week, here are a few highlights of my family’s Christmas in Vancouver and Comox.
 
First, my big brother, Geoff, visited us for the first time in 2 years. Yay! He lives in London, England and we were able to see him a few times during his short trip to Vancouver. Next, Kennedy, Ava, their Oma (my mom) and I visited the Christmas Train in Stanley Park. It’s my very favourite thing to do during the holidays. The girls and I also visited the German Christmas Market and Kennedy and I took a ride on the Merry Go Round. Kennedy also got a chance to make a yummy gingerbread house with her friend Ethan. It was lots of fun but a challenge for me and Ethan’s mom to keep Ava and Ethan’s little brother Aiden away from the candies as the icing was hardening!
We then travelled to Vancouver Island to visit Kennedy and Ava’s Grandma and Grandad (Ryan’s parents) in Comox. It snowed SO MUCH that the power went out the first morning we got there. Kennedy took advantage of the opportunity to make some pretty funny shadow animals on the walls. Kennedy was constantly making snowmen, snow angels and helping Ryan shovel the driveway many times. Ava as much as a fan of the snow, but managed to be out in it a little more every day.
A tradition that both Ryan and I grew up with was being read The Night Before Christmas on Christmas Eve, just like I read to all of you on the last day of school before the break. Kennedy and Ava’s grandparents continued the tradition by reading it on Christmas Eve. On Christmas morning, Kennedy was so excited to receive an Elsa doll and Ava was really intrigued with her new Mrs. Potato Head toy. We spent all day playing with their toys, eating treats and being in the snow.
We were so excited to see snow when we arrived back in Vancouver, but unfortunately it was so soft and powdery that we couldn’t make much more than a snow cone with a few leaves stuck in it instead of a snowman 😄

I can’t wait to hear about something you did with your family or friends. We’ll share when I see you next, but in the meantime, you can email me at stephaniewatt@burnabyschools.ca or write about it here by clicking Leave a Comment / * Comments on the top or bottom of this post.
I can’t wait to hear from you! ❤️, Ms. Watt

Jingle Returns!!

Posted on December 6, 2021 by | Leave a comment

Jingle is back!! After a late return we were a little nervous about whether or not she would be coming, but Ms. Edwards caught her hanging from the lights this afternoon! Jingle’s a friendly and creative scout elf from the North Pole who’s been visiting Room 203 for a few years, watching and reporting on whether Nelson’s Grade 2s and 3s are being naughty or nice! She keeps an eye on who is filling their classmates’ buckets during the month of December.
Looks like she’s back and having some fun!
I can’t wait to see who’ll be the first to spy the new spot she’ll be watching from each day! I hope her daily report to Santa includes many acts of kindness that she witnesses in our classroom.
