Dog House Canteen Update!

The Dog House Canteen was featured on the RETSD Facebook site during the last week of school! Thanks for supporting the canteen . . . we donated to 5 different charities throughout the year. We'll be back in October!

Have a great summer!

Last week of Grade 5!

We had a super busy final week of Grade 5! Our farewell was on Tuesday, June 26 and Sawyer did a great job representing Room 31 as our valedictorian, Emma sang a solo, and Haylee received the Demchuk Award!

On Wednesday, the Variety Showcase was held in the morning. It was so neat to see students brave enough to get up in front of the entire school to show off their talents! We also worked on our last Kidblog post. Check them out HERE. The Kidblog accounts will be active until mid-August, so be sure to keep us posted about your summer adventures!

Thursday and Friday just flew by! We had a fun last day, visiting our Kindergarten book buddies and enjoying lots of treats. Thanks families!

Hope you have a wonderful summer! Be sure to visit, or send me an email sometime!

Goodbye BHS!

Spirit Week!

BHS is having a Spirit Week for the last week of school. Room 31 students thought up the themes. Start planning your outfits!  :)

Activity Day!

Wow! It was a perfect day for our Activity Day! Most of the Grade 5s volunteered in the AM to run stations and then got to play for the PM. Thanks to all the volunteers - parents, siblings, and students from Robert Andrews for helping out!

Grade 5 celebration!

Today we had a great time at UPuttz, celebrating the end of Grade 5! Thanks to PAC for helping us out with the cost of the field trip. We played unlimited lazer tag, bumper cars, and glow-in-the-dark mini golf! It was so much fun!

Field trip to Fort Gibraltar

Today, we had a great field trip to Fort Gibraltar. Our tour guides were amazing and we really felt like we were experiencing life as a Voyageur. The highlight was visiting the blacksmith shop and watching part of a chain be made before our eyes!




Hope you enjoy the video . . .

Best Monday ever!

We had an adorable start to the week this morning! Tara from 10 Acre Woods brought 6 week old Sheldon to BHS for our "Kiss a Goat" Assembly! Mrs. Palamar won by a landslide, but then she pledged $50 on the spot for the 2nd and 3rd place winners to also kiss the goat. Soooooo, Ms. Jeffery and I got to smooch Sheldon too! Soooooooo cute!

Thanks for your support in donating to this fundraiser! We raised $414, which allows us to purchase 8 goats for families in need through WE Schools.

Who will KISS A GOAT?!

The SPIN Club has introduced our newest campaign with WE Schools. We are participating in "We Create Change" and asking for students to purchase a ballot for $2 for the opportunity to vote on 20 staff members to kiss a goat. Every $50 raised purchases a goat for a family in need. When we ran this 3 years ago, we raised $360, and Mr. Hargreaves was the "winner"! Hahaha

An assembly will take place on Monday, May 28 to announce the winning staff member and how much money was raised. I can't wait!  :)

A rainy Friday!

We had indoor recess all day on Friday . . . but I don't mind! We really needed the rain, PLUS, hopefully this means that the weather for the long weekend will be great! We've had a busy week . . . just wrapping up social studies presentations on European explorers, and tackling science. I think learning about the human body is my favourite unit in science for Grade 5!

Here is Sawyer's TWAS from his Kidblog account:
