Thats all Folks

It has been a great year!  We have all learnt new things and taken risks in order to grow.  When I look back on all that your kids have accomplished this year, I am so proud of them!  There has been sweat and yes, there have been tears, but we have all pulled through stronger and ready to take on new challenges next year.  

Sadly, I won't be here next year to see their first days in grade 2 and 3, but I know they will all shine! Your kids are so precious, they made even the hardest days all worth it!  Thank you room 12 and Stevenson for making this year amazing!  And thank you to you, the families, for raising the wonderful children I have had the pleasure to teach!  I will miss you all, but with any luck I will see you again soon.

Here are some pictures from our year:

Thats all Folks!  Have a great summer!

Finishing Up

We have finally finished our Social Studies research projects and they look wonderful!  Our class had been busy all last week gathering information about the different provinces and territories that the students chose to learn more about.  This week we began putting all of our information on a poster to show the school.

Everyone worked very hard on their research and it shows in their posters!


We have all learnt new things about the different places in Canada, but most people still want to visit Ontario!












We also worked on a new art project this week.  We made bubbles using chalk pastels.  They are all so colourful and beautiful!  They represent the students in our class, just like bubbles we will be floating on to grade two and three.

Calvary Place Concert: Monday 10:30-11:30 a.m., in the gym.  

On Monday, June 22 Stevenson students will be performing for the Calvary Place Carehome.  All are welcome!  

Walking Wolf Performance

This week Walking Wolf, an indigenous artist, came to our school.  He taught us about indigenous singing and hop dancing.  He was very interesting, and he even gave the students a chance to be part of the performance.  

Research in the Classroom

We have been learning about Canada in Social Studies class.  So, this week, we have started doing some research on the different provinces and territories.  We will be using our findings to create posters to advertise the fun and interesting attractions in each province or territory.  It should be interesting to see what we discover.

So far, most of the class is interested in visiting Ontario to see Canada's Wonderland, Marineland, the Prime Minister, and Niagara Falls.  I wonder if any minds will be changed once our posters go up.


Family BBQ

We also had our annual family BBQ this week.  Lots of us turned up to have a hot dog and chips in support of the school.  It was a lot of fun and the face painting was awesome!
