What happened to the Plastic Bags?

In October, we were collecting plastic bags for a recycling initiative at the school.  The grade four green team put in a lot of time counting many bags, thousands to be exact!

After all was said and done, the bags we collected awarded Bird's Hill School two bird houses!  These bird houses are products from all of these plastic bags.  What a great recycling idea! Thanks to Mrs. Dent Scarcello for giving our school the opportunity to participate!

This recycling initiative has been happening all over Winnipeg.  Check out this article from the Winnipeg Free Press by clicking here.

Christmas concert by Matt

This week at school we had our Christmas concert. It was a medieval theme and we had to wear silly costumes.  There were two songs that grades 1 to 6 had to sing together.  Grade fours sang “Adeamose” and “Masters in this hall.” Our class played the bear dance.  I think our class did very well!

3-2-1 update

This weekend was very busy. One thing we did is started watching “the BFG” movie. We started watching the movie at first recess. When we started watching the movie the music was really scary. Another thing we learned is the secret Santa points. The secret Santa points are for fun things. We have to fill in 9 spots to have a special celebration but we won’t know what it is until we get our points. The last thing I did is typed my information about a brown bear. For my brown bear I used my information that I got from computer and books. Then I got all the information I needed and started typing it on computer.

One thing I enjoyed is the brown bear information. I enjoyed the brown bear information because I love typing on the computer. Another thing I enjoyed this week was that we started to watch“The BFG” movie. I enjoyed this movie because I loved “The BFG” book so I think it will be really good.

One thing I need to work on is borrowing when we do 3 or 4 digit subtraction.  I can get better at this by taking my time and going step by step.

To My Students...

I wanted to take a second to say thank you to my students for a great first term.  As I went through each student-led conference it occurred to me that I had about a million positive things to say about you guys.  I hope you were all happy and proud of what you've accomplished this term. I know your parents and I are!  Keep working hard and being kind to each other, you make our classroom a great place to be!
