Our Blog

I'm just checking out our total views, and we've almost reached 1000!  Woo hoo!  As we move forward, I'm going to pass the keyboard over to students more often.  This way they can add reviews of special activities, books they're reading or an event they'd like to share.

Students, remember to comment on our blog!  Give encouragement to the student's who bravely post their T.W.A.S. up here for all to see!

Dear mom and dad,

This week at school... In heath we did ways to fit in and we acted out a scene. In gym we played bench dodge ball and pin guard.

This week we also had French. In French we did the buzz game and we learned how to say where we live. We also worked on counting it was very fun.

We also did ELA. In ELA we did read to self and read to someone it was really fun. For read to someone I read with Ryan. And for read to self, in reading groups,  I read the book called, "How to keep cold and warm" it was interesting. 

We also did math. In math we did circle graph’s pictographs and mental math. They were all fun but hard too.

We also had science. In science we worked on food chains and also did food webs. And we also watched a video showing food chains. In other, we had hot lunch it was chicken fingers.  Abilities day was on Tuesday, we got to ride in a wheelchair to see what it’s like to be in a wheelchair.

Abilties Awareness Day

On Tuesday, Jan 22, the students from grades 4-6 participated in Abilities Awareness Day.  Mrs. Tomchak, from our resource team, arranged for special guests to run seven centres to educate the kids on differing abilities.  The kids were facinated and surprised by what they learned through their experiences. The seven centres covered: fine Motor, vision, learning disabilities, cognition, mobility, speech and language, and hearing.  The animoto video shows some of the students in a few of the centres.  What a great way to develop awareness, empathy and acceptance of all ranges of abilities!

This week at school we had library.  It was fun.  In library we picked out new books.  I picked out two books about cars, trains and planes.  I’m excited to read my books and learn more about cars, trains, and planes.

In math we had subtraction it was hard at first but it was easy after a while.

In gym we played everybody’s it tag. In gym we also played curling it was fun but my team lost. We also did fitness activities. I had a good week at school.

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year readers!  Hope you've all had an exciting and restful holiday.  Celebrating the New Year always brings discussion about resolutions or goals for the upcoming year.  So, I ask: What's your New Year's Resolution? Or, if you don't believe in "resolutions" what is a goal you have for the upcoming year?  Post your resolutions in our comments!

My personal goals for 2013 vary: 1) To make more time to be active 2) To learn how to stop properly on skates 3) To play my guitar that has been collecting dust

I plan to make time to do each of these and will keep you posted if I am successful! 

Don't forget to post your goals!
