the SMARTBoard has landed!

We have certainly had some adjustments in the last couple weeks...  6 new students, regular skating/hockey/skiing/snowboarding lessons, and now... a SMARTBoard! Mr. Bond has struggled to update this blog in a timely manner but those days should be over thanks to the hiring of some new staff in the classroom. 

Just look at who wants to use the SMARTBoard!

Is that a "SMILE" or a "SIMILE?" (actually it was much harder than that)

Onomatopoeia VS Alliteration... who will win?

Did the SMARTBoard replace the teacher?  No. But this teacher is much happier with it!  Thanks PAC! (And maintenance for installing it! )

Figurative Language "Example Assignment"

Grammar, Math, Français et SKATING!

The title probably accurately reflects in order of fun what we did today.  We sharpened our grammar skills as everyone improved their best times on Grammar Ninja... well done!

First Weekend of Year!

Good day today!  Taught a few new students the great game of cribbage, had a math test, read some wonderful 'Story Kitchen' stories, made interesting bead creatures with Ms. Liebel, played Japanese Dodgeball, had 20 questions for our new student Natasha, started 4 new student blogs and launched a rocket into space... okay not space but about 4m into the air! (Thanks for bringing that in Lewis!  We learned the difference between chemical and physical reactions as well the chemical symbols for baking soda, vinegar, carbon dioxide, water and sodium acetate)

Vermi-rescue

Today we did some dirty work... literally!  The worms working to turn our kitchen garbage into awesome compost had too many un-welcome visitors.  MITES! Some are okay but too many make a good worm angry...

First we find the suffering worms...

then we gave them a bath to make sure no mites are piggybacking...

then we prepare the fancy clean new bin with nice hand shredded cardboard...

and finally we add the lucky 38 worms!

Paradise?

Two bins now:  "Mite Free" and "MITES 'R' US" (Hopefully any worms left over in the latter will still survive!)

Welcome Back!

So nice to be back in school today!  The break was well deserved for our star performers.  The 'North Pole Exposure' play was well received and the pot luck that followed was super tasty.  Thank you parents for the work you put in preparing props, food and moving loads of stuff, fire fighters for your generous volunteer work, Ms. Ruzicka and Mrs. Turner for your support and students for your amazing effort. We are already missing our friends Cole and Carmen who are now in India.  We will stay in touch and you will be able to read what they are up to in our next Big White Out.  As we say goodbye we say hello to two new students today:  Evan and Adam.  Welcome boys!  While printed and distributed at the concert, the December Issue of the Big White Out was never published online.  The editor sends his regrets. Please enjoy the publication in full screen!
