Thank you!

Thank you to all the families for coming out to celebrate the first term with your child! The students worked hard this past week with preparing their portfolios and that truly paid off during SLC! I was really happy to see the students so excited to share things with their families. We had lots of positive conversations over the last two days.

Have a great weekend!

Powerful Presentations!

We had a very busy week with presentations every single day! On Monday, the Grade 4s shared their animal habitat projects. Then, every day this week, we had social studies presentations from Grade 4s who studied a geographical region of Canada and the Grade 5s who researched an Aboriginal group from the early days of Canada. We started an art job that is turning out so beautiful. We will finish them off next week and have them displayed for Student Led Conferences. On Wednesday, we had our first Family Group Activity. We're hoping to meet in Family Groups every early dismissal Wednesday. The students are in groups with Kindergartens all the way to Grade 5! The patrols went bowling on Thursday morning to celebrate their hard work and dedication during the first term of school.

Here is Ryann's TWAS . . .

Monday- on Monday we listened to the grade 4s present their science projects. They did dioramas. They had to do dioramas by themselves for science but the grade 5s got a decision. We could ether work by ourselves or with a friend. We had to do rain gauges though. I choose to do it with Ayanna. So today all we really did was listen to the grade 4s talking about there projects. Eh.

Tuesday- we had art. Surprising. We have art almost every week. Not that I don’t like art it just that I’m saying that we had art this week. This art in my opinion might be my favorite art out of the whole year. It’s pretty cool. It’s supposed to look like cardinal birds in the winter. The first step was to sketch out our birds and the tree they were sitting on. After we used pastel to color them. That’s all the steps we did on Tuesday.

Wednesday-on Wednesday we had this thing called family groups. We had an assembly about it. There’s about 12 kids in each group. Then you get paired up with a teacher and all the rest of the kids are in different grades. Me and Ayanna were lucky because we got in the same group. My groups color was the black group. We got Ms. Chuckrey!! We went to her class and designed a family crest! it was cool!!

Thursday- on Thursday we did our art step 3. Step 3 was to paint. We used water colors! Ms. Wasney got out 4 water colors. There was the color magenta, light blue, purple and dark blue. I used all the colors and I made little blotches everywhere so they would look awesome together. Then we put them on the drying rack to let them dry! I was pretty happy about how mine turned out!


Friday- on Friday we listened to more social study projects. Except we had to take notes with the social study presentations. We had to listen well because we were noting down facts about what they were researching. We had a yellow paper to record 3 facts about the what they were researching. Grade 4s and 5s we had to record both grade with 3 facts. I mean it’s not the best this to do but it’s not the worst! That’s how Friday went.

Well that’s how my week went and it was pretty good!!!

World Kindness Day!

It sure was a busy week, considering it was only 4 days long! We are in the midst of finishing up projects for both science and social studies, so it's a whirlwind of activity in Room 31 . . . paint, clay, and imagination are flying everywhere! It was a Spirit Week for United Way - so fun to see lots of students and staff dress up!

Monday was a day off for students as teachers worked on report cards.

On Tuesday, we celebrated World Kindness Day by writing notes to random classmates. Some students wrote to family members too. It was a simple way to make someone's day and didn't cost a thing! The Grade 5s tested their science design projects. The rain gauges stood up (in the snow!) and collected water!

On Wednesday, the students were surprised with a quiz in Science. They also did an online survey about how they feel about things at school with Ms. Lovetri.

On Thursday, we visited with our Grade 2/3 Book Buddies and wrote notes to adults in the school to carry on the theme of World Kindness Day.

Today, six students from Room 31 participated in the Grade 4/5 volleyball tournament at Maple Leaf School. A shout-out to Jake and Levi . . . Jake always seems to dress up on the last day of the week - usually wearing a dress shirt and tie! Now, Levi has joined in! So adorable!

It was also our first hot lunch of the year. Thanks to PAC for bringing this back! SO nice to not have to make lunch!  :)

We sure scared hunger!

The SPIN Club ran the "We Scare Hunger" campaign at the end of October. This week, Winnipeg Harvest picked up the donations of food and it weighed a total of 333 pounds! Thanks for supporting this activity.

Mr. Altomare recently met with representatives from Abundant Life Lutheran Church. BHS will once again be collecting food for hampers for our area. Last year, the church provided 64 hampers at Christmas. Some information was shared with families today . . . check your email!

We Remember . . .

A collaborative bulletin board for
Remembrance Day.

We've had a super busy week in Room 31! The students are working so hard on science and social studies projects that our class is a whirlwind of creativity (and clutter)! Ha! We were visited by a consultant with the division that was at BHS for 4 days this week to work with Grades 1 to 5 on Treaty Training and Indigenous Awareness. We were lucky to have one of our classmates dance for us and describe the excitement of attending a pow wow. Today, the students were so respectful at the Remembrance Day Assembly, hosted by the Grade 2/3 classes.
