A LOUD start to the week!

For a 4 day week, we've sure been busy! We started off the week by attending "I Love to Read LIVE" at the Burton Cummings theatre on Tuesday. The event was hosted by Virgin 103.1 and Manitoba Teachers Society. All the Winnipeg sports team mascots were there and Winnipeg mayor, Brian Bowman read to us. Local singer/songwriter Fred Penner sang "The Cat came Back" to us. It was so fun . . . and LOUD!

A Gold Medal Week!

We've had a super busy week in Room 31! We celebrated 100 Day on Tuesday with some fun activities, Valentine's Day on Wednesday, and Olympic Activity Day yesterday! Today felt back to normal as we worked on TWAS, math, and science!

Here is Kaz's TWAS from his Kidblog account:

On Monday we had handwriting. we started it last week but were learning all the letters I missed a practice but I'm fine I hope I learn all the letters. Also we made valentines envelopes for are valentines cards. I cut out hearts and then glued them onto other hearts. I gave out candy bags for everyone.

On Tuesday we had One Hundred Day activities. we had a booklet of activities one of them was each letter was worth a number A was 1 B was 2 and so on we had to find a word that would equal up to 100. also we had gym and we did dodgeball it was lots of fun we switched up teams too. if you got hit you would haft to go to the back of the other teams wall then catch a ball that has been thrown to you. also you could grab a ball that's on the ground and hit the other team. 

On Wednesday we had cut out a tic-tac-toe that was in a shape of a heart then cut out hearts then played it with our little buddies I let my buddy win most of the time. I also gave my buddy a Valentines card. Also we had are valentines party! There was food and we watched a movie and also we had the laptops if you wanted it was tons of fun!

On Thursday we had a winter Olympic day my country was Belgium we went with are little buddy's too. my favorite station was the Slopestyle balance challenge we did a human knot my arms got stretched a lot. also we tried to get up by sitting on the ground and putting are feet against each other and grabbed the other persons hands it was hard

On Friday where doing TWAS right now. TWAS stands for This Week At School its where you share what you did on this week. This is my TWAS. Also we have science I'm not sure what where doing in science but where learning about forces.     

Winter Olympic Activity Day!

Today was such a fun day! We had our Winter Olympic Activity Day, thanks to the planning by Mrs. Rand and a small committee of teachers. Unfortunately because of the weather, we were forced to stay inside, but we still managed to visit 12 different stations throughout the day! We started off the morning with a parade of flags and opening ceremonies - with the lighting of the Olympic torch and raising of the Olympic flag. The grade fives were excellent leaders with our Kindergarten buddies from Mrs. Henry's class.

Hope you enjoy the video!

I love to read month starts!

We've had a fun week in Room 31. On Tuesday, we had an assembly and Anthony was drawn to spin the wheel. He won "flashlight reading", which we did today. It was awesome! Wednesdays in February will be spirit days, so this past week we had "Hats off to Reading". Everyone participated in our class! We also did loads of science for our forces and simple machines unit. We did some writing, math, french, and even fit in some beautiful art! Mrs. Rand is keeping us busy with learning some olympic sports in gym! So fun!

I am back with another TWAS,

On Monday, We had weekend wind-up. On Friday we had no school I had a gymnastics competition. It was at springer's gymnastics club and was really fun. On Saturday I had a soccer game. Then after we had dinner at chosabi and it was really good. On Sunday I went for dinner at stella's with my grandparents. I had noodles with shrimp. That is what did on my weekend. We also had math. We marked are math we did the other day and started a new page. We are working on patterning. That was my Monday. 

On Tuesday, We had gym. We watched the winter Olympics. Then we tried it in the gym. We were doing bobsledding. So we took to scooters and one mat. We folded the mat and put it on top. We had partners and my partner was Cami. It was fun. We also had a class meeting. First we played as the wind blows. As the wind blows is where one person stands in the middle and asks a question, if you like what they asked then you move to another chair. If you don't like it you stay and one person will be in the middle and then they ask the question. We also shared something we are looking forward to and a challenge. That was my Tuesday.

On Wednesday we had hats off to reading. We could  wear a hat to school and I did. we also had BHS reads. I am reading Fitzgerald-trout still and I am on  chapter 10. I like it so far and at first I didn't really like it but now I do. We also had French. We worked on a script. My partner was Maxx. We had to ask questions about winter. I liked it. That was a short Wednesday.

On Thursday we started handwriting. It was my first time doing handwriting in school and I like handwriting its fun. We learned to write the letters T,H,E,I. We learned how to write a couple words. We also had gym. We did biathlon. biathlon is skiing and shooting. We took our shoes off and skied in our socks and then we had to throw a bean bag in a hoop. It was a fun gym class. That was Thursday.

On Friday have TWAS witch I am doing write now. We do TWAS every Friday and I have 443 words. We also had flashlight reading. Anthony spun the wheel and he won flashlight reading and so we went in the library and read. It was in the dark and the library was super dark. That my week and was my Friday.

A freezing four day week!

Brrrrrrr! It sure has been cold this week! I cannot believe February is here already! Mrs. Dent Scarcello is hosting some fun "I Love to Read" activities. Many students brought home a BINGO from the library today.

We have had a busy 4 day week. We wrapped up our science presentations on weather and started our new unit on forces and simple machines. We did a fun french activity about winter activities and clothing, and worked on a super tricky word for Word Work Wednesday . . . still unsolved! Today, students tested out a new attendance and we chose new spots for the month. We also ended the day with a bonus gym class to celebrate filling up half of our "O Chart". It was so fun!

The teachers will be involved in an inservice at school tomorrow, and students get a head start on their weekends!
