Only three weeks to go!  Where did the year go? I am excited to report that this week will be our final week of our chicken mummification process.  We will be wrapping up our chickens and digging our hole to bury them in.  I can't wait to finish this 6 week process, and hopefully this will be an activity that my students will always remember. As well this week, we are starting to learn all about the digestive system of the human body for science.  I have a passion for knowledge about the human body, and I am hoping that my passion rubs off on my students.  It is a fascinating machine, and through the next 3 weeks the students will learn all about all of its different mechanisms. Next week is our class field-trip to Camp Sheldrake on Friday June 18th.  Each student is asked to bring in $5 to help cover the cost of the bus trip and the camp registration. I wish all my students the best of luck trying to get through these next three weeks.  I know they would rather be outside on these nice days, but it is my goal to make the last three weeks unforgettable for my students!  Hopefully this way the days will not go by so slowly!

Today we were blessed to have the expertise of Mrs. Darlene MacDonald join Grade 5TH to do a presentation on healthy food choices.  She did a terrific job educating our class on the amount of fat and sugar in every day foods that they might like to eat.  The students were so well behaved and interested in everything that she was telling them.  Thank you Mrs. MacDonald!  Hopefully the students will think and make healthy choices now that they are informed!

Blackville School participated in a 15 minute walk for disability awareness.  The elementary school did their walk during their dinner hour and we were joined by Mrs. Barry who is District 16's Physical Education Mentor.  She shared with the school how grateful we should be to live normal active lifestyles.  Check out the image gallery to see more pictures of our class!

In September we all knew that the Grade 5s had their Provincial Math Assessment in June, who ever thought it would come so quickly!?  I want to take this time to wish all my students the best of luck in these next two days, that is really going to feel like a math marathon, but hang in there and it will be over before you know it.  I know you will all do super!  Get lots of rest and study your math facts!  Good luck class!

Can you believe it?!  It is the first week of June already!  Where has the time gone?  I am having so much fun with my amazing class, I really don't want it to end!  This week marks the days for our Provincial Math Assessment.  They will be written on Wednesday and Thursday first thing in the morning in the cafeteria.  I am sure you will all do wonderful, and all Mrs. Turcotte's hard work will pay off.  She has put tons of hard work into my students, so MAKE HER PROUD CLASS!!! As well, we will be finally wrapping up our "Chicken Mummies" in linen and getting their sarcophagus all dressed up and ready to burry.  I am looking foward to seeing the end product.  These have been 6 weeks in the making, and I am hoping they work.  I guess we will see in 2 or 3 years from now. Only 20 more days of school left!  Hang in there everybody and lets make the most of our final days!

Our class did a very interesting experiment last week on finding how much fat a Big Mac had.  Check out our pictures on the right hand side.   We blended a Big Mac with 700ml of water and let it settle for a day.  The fat is the yellow layer, second layer down in the container Brett is holding.  Check it out!!!
