September Welcome

Wow, time has sure flown by already!  My usual first week welcome post is now coming in the third week of school.  We've had a busy couple of weeks in room 26 and I have to say, this group of students is pretty AWESOME.  We have a great group of hard-working, kind-hearted kids with a great sense of curiosity.  I can foresee that we're going to have a great year together!


We welcome Ms. Woods to our class this year.  She is a fifth year student teacher and we're lucky to have her.


We also welcome Ms. G.  She is an educational assistant that works in our room and is a gigantic help to our students!


I am planning to use this blog as more of a means for students to showcase their work and ideas.  I will also share with you exciting adventures that are happening in, and out of, our room.


I hope you're all having a great September!


Here are some pictures from our first weeks together.  #backtoschoolselfie

Oak Hammock Marsh

Our final field trip was a fun, outdoor experience at Oak Hammock Marsh!  There we got to go critter dipping in the marsh to discover different invertebrates and other critters, then we went on a walk to observe all the different plants and animals in the area, and lastly, we learned some fun Indigenous games!  We had a fantastic day learning in nature!

Museum Field Trip

In May, we visited the Manitoba Museum to learn more about Light and do some exploring of the science gallery.  We got to see a light show in the Planetarium, build kaleidoscopes and learn all about reflection and then explore on our own in the science gallery.  It was a really fun day and we sure learned a lot!  Check out our slideshow!

Ms. Steven's Farewell Party

This is a very late post!  We said goodbye to Ms. Stevens, our student teachers, at the end of April.  We sent her off with a great celebration!  We spent the afternoon having fun at the park and then sharing snacks in our classroom.  We sure miss her and were lucky to have her in our class!  Good luck Ms. Stevens!

Litter-less lunches!

Great job on bringing in trash-free lunches!!  

Guest reader

A big thank you to Mrs. Miller for coming to read to us today! Thanks for sharing about you, and your family's, love of reading!

TUSC

Hi everyone!  Today was a very exciting day in our class...exciting for Zidane because it's his BIRTHDAY (Happy Birthday again, Zidane!)!  And exciting for the whole class because we had our first TUSC meeting!


TUSC stands for Totally Unique Speaking Club.  Each student has to prepare for a "job" where they have to present on a topic to the class, or take notes (secretary) or evaluate their classmates (general reporter).  Today Kate led our meeting as Chairperson and kept things going well throughout our meeting. 


Everyone presented very well and I know I enjoyed everyone's unique presentations!  Way to go room 26!  Here's some photos from our meeting.

Guest Reader

In celebration of I Love to Read Month, I've invited family to come in and read to our class.  On Friday morning, we had the pleasure of meeting Marten Posthumus, a local artist and great-grandfather to one of our classmates.  He has recently had his work published as a book and he came to share his process of art-making and how he started to be published. Art is a fantastic form of literacy and we learned a lot from a very talented artist.

His advice was simple, if you like to draw, keep at it.  He told us he was not that good when he started as a boy but with practice and determination, he became better and better.  His artwork was fantastic and the stories of how they came about were exciting to listen to.  The students were quite fascinated by his talent and had many great questions for him.   We're so grateful he came to share with us!

321 update

This week at school was long. One thing I learned was division like 24x8=3 because I know that 3x8=24 so that’s how I do division, problem solving, flash cards we had to figure out what the answer was it was really easy but for the big ones.

Another thing I learned was how to paint a cardinal for art.  Mine was horrible.  It was really hard to do.  Carson and I did our social studies.  He did three research   questions when I had to write on the netbook. I did two pages of writing and I felt very rushed. 

One last thing I learned was how to label the seasons in French.  It was a little hard for me.  I think I was the last one to finish.  In health we did a physical activity and nutrition checklist.  It took a long time to finish. 

One thing I enjoyed was gym because of dodgeball and gymnastics.  It was really fun and hard at the same time.

Another thing I enjoyed was intramurals because we played dodgeball with Ms. Davis’s class.  It was fun.

One goal I have is to finish “Amulet.”  I will do this by having time.
