Skating With the Premier

How many students can say that they skated with the Premier of New Brunswick? Not too many, but the students of Grade 5TH can brag about this after Monday morning!Monday from 9:30-10:30 the grade fives and sevens will be going to the outdoor rink and take an hour to skate with the Premier and MLA Jake Stewart. What an opportunity!Please remember to bring you skates and a helmet for this great occasion and that the skates are stored well in something that will not cause any threat to other students, or to the seats of your bus. Remember that skates are sharp and we do not want to have any careless incidents.Come prepared for the weather, keeping in mind that it is the middle of January! Let's show Mr. Alward what great students come from the "Home of the Golden Eagles!"

Paddling Lesson!

Grade 5TH was very fortunate today to have a very special visitor. Paul MacKinnon from the District's MOVE program visited the students to give them an in-class lesson on paddling. Mr. MacKinnon and I were pleasantly surprised to see so many students already having a strong background on the subject!We have tentatively booked February 7th to go to MVHS pool to participate in the hand-on paddling lesson. What a great way to start off the English program and to break up the cold winter months! I think I speak for the entire class when I say how excited we all are! Thank you Paul!

Christmas Show and Tell!

This week, we took the opportunity to have a Show and Tell for each student. They got to choose one item that they received for Christmas. It was extremely amusing seeing all the great items that they received from loved ones and Santa. Talk about some lucky children!

Happy New Year Grade 5TH!!! I hope you all had a splendid holiday and are very well rested after two weeks of rest and relaxation! I am very excited to see each and everyone of you on Tuesday, January 11th, on our first day back in the classroom.Sadly, we only have three weeks of the Intensive French Program left...that is only fourteen more "Messages du jour"...heart-wrenching, isn't it? I love our daily routine and how super all of you are becoming at the french, but all good things much come to an end. Change is always a good thing as well, the english program is tons of fun, and I am anxious to start into this with all of your inquisitive minds!Remember that Tuesday you are to bring in your "Show and Tell" item from Christmas and we are all going to have a chance to show off what the great bearded one brought you!See you soon!

Weekly Note December 20th-23rd

The big week is finally here! Christmas Concert time!! Hopefully the weather will cooperate and my Grade 5 class of superstars can perform at their best on Tuesday at 9am in the gymnasium. I know they are very excited about showing off their claymation!I hope everyone is all set for the Secret Santa that my class is going to participate in on Thursday. I didn't receive any emails from anyone, therefore, I am assuming it is all settled. I know last year when we did it, the students loved it. I am hoping it will be just as successful this year.I can't wait to see all of my students this week and see the excitement in their eyes and hear the enthusiasm in their voices. This is the most magical time of the year, and I get to share this magic with these amazingly special students in my class. I have the best job ever!! They are especially going to be excited and enthusiastic when I unveil that Thursday, December 23rd is a half of a day for students!! Merry Christmas everyone and I will resume my posts in the new year! Enjoy the holidays!

HO, HO, HO! It is almost Christmas! The countdown is officially on, and the students are definitely all very excited for the festive holiday! It is incredibly enjoyable to see all the excitement in all my students eyes as we discuss in french what they would like for Christmas. I love this time of the year.Now that our claymation is out of the way it is time to work on our Christmas Concert song. Just a reminder that next Tuesday, December 21st at 9am in the gymnasium is our concert. This will be your child's last concert of Elementary School, so I hope you all can make the final hurah!On Friday we will be drawing names for a Secret Santa. This is just a fun way to spend our last day of school exchanging gifts and celebrating the joy of giving. Please only spend a dollar or two at one of the Dollar Stores, as there are many things at these stores that will make these children happy. I look forward to spending the next week with my students and I will be soaking up all their excitement. I am impressed with their dedication to getting their school work done even through their excitable energy. They are staying right on task and we are being very productive for this time of the year. Thank you class! You are the best!
