Nelson students participated in our 29th annual Terry Fox Run on Fri. Sept. 21st. After one week of fundraising, bringing in Toonies for Terry and collecting pledges, we raised an incredible amount of money for the Terry Fox Foundation! Way to go Nelson!! We are the 2nd highest fundraising elementary school in Burnaby with fundraising totals over the last few years being:
2013 ~ $1430 2014 ~ $1097
2015 ~ $1,967 2016 ~ $2, 200
2017 ~ $2, 802
Nelson students will find out what their fundraising total this year is soon and will be rewarded for all their hard work!

THINK MATH

Every Tuesday Ms. Watt will post a new “answer” on our class Think Math chart.
Your challenge is to correctly write a number story / question that matches the answer on a sticky note & place it on your class number.
There are as many different correct answers as there are students in our class!
Good luck Grade 3s! I can’t wait to share every week!!

Who knew reading books could lead to pancakes and medals!?
Thank you so much to the the Burnaby Fire Fighters for the wonderful morning of pancakes straight off the grill and the Burnaby Public Library for the medal for doing what Kennedy and I love!
Thank you so much to Casandra and Julia for letting us hang out with you. 🙂 Congratulations on your medals girls!!

Reading in Secret Park

Nelson primary students ended their 1st week together by gathering at Secret Park and enjoying a good book or two together.

I hope everyone had fun getting back to school this week and learned lots about Indigenous cultures in the various classrooms you visited.
I can’t wait to meet my new class next week and start our year together!

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 Saturday, Sept. 8th.

Summer Where Am I? ~ 8

Posted on August 27, 2018 by Ms. Watt | Leave a comment

The inspiration for our 8th & final Summer Where Am I? clue comes from the west coast’s largest pet festival that Kennedy and I visited on Sunday.

Good luck with this week’s question! I hope everyone has enjoyed their summer break and I can’t wait to see you all next week!

Check out the Where Am I? page to see the questions and make your guesses!
The inspiration for our 7th clue comes from a special meal Kennedy and I enjoyed with her Oma last week to celebrate her Oma’s birthday.

Good luck with this week’s question!

Bake Sales are a way Me to We students meet their fundraising goal each year at Nelson. This year, students participated in two bake sales and raised over $400 for health initiatives in Kenya.
Thank you to all Me to We group members who spent time baking treats and selling them at our bake sales!
