Valentine's Party!

On Friday, our class had a Valentine's party.  We distributed Valentine cards, ate plenty of sweets and chips, played limbo, and then had some outdoor fun!  It was a great way to end our week.

Getting ready to start the dance train!

Career Fair!

For the month of January, Division 9 has worked very hard to complete their very own research on a potential career for HACE (Health and Career Education).  They spent many hours in the computer lab as well as on their posters.  Our class hosted a Career Fair by dressing as their job and by inviting Ms Lockie's Grade 4 and 5 class to observe, evaluate, and ask questions.  It was a fun time!  I'm proud of Division 9's effort and diligence. :)

Some of our pictures are also posted on our school's Twitter feed.

Story Writing Unit

This week our class had the pleasure of a visit from my friend Mrs. T, a retired teacher.  She introduced the elements of a story through the Mr and Little Miss picture book series.  This month we will be creating our own Mr or Little Miss book with illustrations.  We are very excited!   

Last day before Winter Break

On the last day of school this year, our class learned about stereotypes and reviewed some current events.  Also, we watched the funny, holiday movie Home Alone with Ms Lockie's class and then had a pizza party.  The Grade 4's surprised me with a beautiful card and plenty of encouragement.  What a great way to end the year!

Mele Kalikimaka

For the Christmas Assembly, our class performed Bing Crosby's Mele Kalikimaka with Ms Lockie's class.  We had a great time bringing cheer and Hawaii to our school.  I think we did a fabulous job!!  Here's a recording of Bing's song: Mele Kalikimaka

Ice Skating

Also, please bring your HELMET if you have one.

On Monday, December 1st our class will be going ice skating at Newton Arena.  Drivers, please arrive by 12:40 PM so we can be at the arena by 1 PM.  Please meet in our classroom.  Also, those students with booster seats please remember to bring them to school on Monday.  We will be going with our Grade 1 buddies who will need plenty of help putting on and lacing up their skates.  We will likely leave the arena by 2:30 and arrive back at the school by 2:40 PM.  Thank you, drivers for making this field trip happen!  :)

Students, please dress for cold weather.  This includes: a hat or tuque, scarf, gloves or mittens, jacket, and warm socks.  Looking forward to skating with you and having a great time!!
