Author Visit!

Posted on December 2, 2019 by Ms. Watt | Leave a comment

The primary students of Nelson were so very lucky to have authors Megan Williams and Madison Reaveley visit and read us their books, Don’t Call the Office and I Don’t Want To! in our gymnasium last Wednesday. They shared with us how they write their stories and also answered many of our questions. Division 8 was extra lucky to have them visit our classroom afterwards and help us with wonderful ideas on how to make our Friday Journal letter homes the best they can be! Thank you Megan and Madi!! Click HERE to see pictures and HERE to order a copy of one of their fabulous books!!

Bookbeast Sheets

Posted on October 22, 2019 by Ms. Watt | Leave a comment

Every student in Division 8 is expected to fill out their Bookbeast Sheet every night after they read. If your sheet gets lost, please print a new one off at home. If you do not have a printer, please let Ms. Watt know immediately.
To print off a new one, visit the Nelson School website at https://nelson.burnabyschools.ca/ . Click on the LIBRARY tab along the top of the page and then choose BOOK BEAST SHEETS in the drop down menu.

I can’t wait to celebrate everyone’s 50 Night Sheet being handed in next month!

Summer Reading Program

Posted on September 7, 2019 by Ms. Watt | Leave a comment

Who knew reading 15 minutes a night for 50 nights could lead to a medal!?
Kennedy and I had so much fun hanging out with Mrs. Roberts and her daughter Rachel at the Burnaby Public Library this morning.
I was so excited to see Lucas and Casandra there to receive their medals too!
Thank you so much to the Burnaby Public Library for the fun morning and the medal for doing what Kennedy and I love!

Sept. 1st!! I hope everyone has been reading 15 mins a day for 50 days this summer like Kennedy and me!
If so, you’ll be rewarded with the highly coveted summer reading club medal! I can’t wait to see all of you at the medal ceremony and pancake breakfast on Sat., Sept. 7th.

Every year we celebrate students who achieve 200 nights of Bookbeast Reading. In recent years Mrs. Roberts has introduced a new 250 nights level and it takes a special student with great dedication and responsibility to achieve this. What an awesome accomplishment. Way to go Division 8 250 Night Readers! I’m so proud of you!
