Tie and Moustache Day!

On Friday we had a school-wide Spirit Day: Tie and Moustache Day. 

Sometimes we are serious....

But most of the time, we are silly!

Pink Shirt Day!

Today, February 24th, 2016, our class practiced kindness by wearing pink, to show that we do not tolerate bullying! With one person at a time, we can make a difference! In our class, BULLYING STOPS HERE! 

We are in this together!

From our class to yours, thank-you for participating in such an important day! Everyone sent such a strong message!

With love,

Division 10

I love my family because...

Last week we celebrated Valentine's Day by connecting our Family and Friends units with Love. We discussed different attributes about how our parents (and family) make us feel. A few words that came up were "accepted", "trusted", and "respected". We made cupids and shared a written piece of why we love our family. 

We hope you had a great Valentine's Day and weekend with your families! 

Love,

Lunar New Year!

Today we celebrated Lunar New Year! Most of us wore red and gold or traditional outfits in honour of the big day! 

Happy New Year! 

The Many Smiling Faces of Us and Our Families!

Last week we had a Family-Themed week. We shared stories and things we like about our family the most. When I asked the children what made their family so special, one of our students put up their hand and said "their love never breaks". I truly could've shed a tear right then and there. It's true. Our class is full of wonderful children that all come from amazing, unique families! Everyone is special in their own way, but it still comes down to that same quote. Your child's love for you will never break. 

Here are just a few of our amazing families:

Thank-you for sharing such wonderful pictures! 

I hope everyone had a fantastic, fun, and relaxing Family Day weekend!

Winter Animal Art

For the past month we have been learning about different 'Winter' animals. For the most part, we focused our studies on Arctic animals, starting with Polar Bears. 

As our Big Buddy class was learning about different Art techniques with oil pastel, they taught us how to draw (and shade) a penguin. Here are a few samples:

Together, here are both pieces of Art:

Learning about Gravity-- Egg Drop Experiment

Today we tested out our uncooked egg drop. We had a variety of shoe boxes, some decorated and many stuffed with all sorts of things-- cotton balls, bubble wrap, towels, etc. 

Here are some photos of our experiment: 

We opened our boxes...

Some eggs survived...

And some did not...

But either way, we still kept smiling (despite the brightness of that beautiful sun)!
