Little Buddies

This week we had little buddies. When we got there we were going to decorate gingerbread men. Ms.Kohut told the steps that we had to go by. Then we had to go wash our hands and come back and then we would have to wait until our buddies were at a table till we could go and sit by them. Then when everyone was sitting by their buddy we would wait till we got the gingerbread man and then we would wait for the icing then we would get the candies and then we started decorating the cookie. Whatever we had left we could eat like icing and candies. Then when everybody was done making their cookies we were able to eat the gingerbread men. When everybody was done eating there gingerbread men we were able to either color, connect the dots or read and me and my buddy chose to read. We read the gingerbread man and it was a good book to read after what we did.

Field Trip

Welcome Stroom30 Readers!

On Friday we went to the Abundant Life Church with Ms Wasney's class. When we got there, we sorted out food, toys, wrapped presents, knitted items (scarves, mittens, toques etc.) and sorted pennies/coins for some of the less fortunate people. We sorted ourselves into different groups, groups of five to be exact, and our groups would go to different things. I started off sorting the food, which were in a bundle of boxes, onto some labled shelves. Some of the different catagories were: soup, cereal, pasta, pasta sauce, fruits, macaroni and cheese, snacks and things that didn't have a place to go! After all of the food was sorted, most people worked on sorting pennies. For the pennies, you sort a pile into tens. Then later, you get some rolls, and drop fifty pennies into each roll, then roll them in such a way that they close. After a long while, all the students got called in to have a snack and a drink. The snack was a cup of popcorn (I thought that it was a drink because it was in a pepsi cup) and a cup of either cranberry juice or apple juice. I hoped for cranberry, but I ended up with a cold glass of apple juice (it tasted better than I thought it would). As a school, we brought around...... two hundred sixty-five pounds of food! This food went to people in our own community. I felt good that we were able to help people that are not as fortunate as some of us.

This week at school we are doing lots of stuff. Here is what we did in art first we put strips of tape on a piece of paper. Then we made smaller pieces of tape by ripping them to give them a cool teared look. Then we put water colour on it as the sky and it looked really nice. The next step we took in the art job was we put some salt on the water colour what the salt dose is it makes little indents in the water colour paint. And one of last steps was we had to tear the pieces of tape off of the paper and the spot that it was on would be completely white. Then we would swipe the top of the paper and it would make the salt fall of for the cool effect on the water colour. After we were done that we will draw black lines on the white and in the end we made birch trees.

On Wednesday we had a pj day it was really fun and we  watched a movie the tale of desperaux we read the book and we finished it and the movie was different in some ways.  We were allowed to bring a stuffed animal but I forgot to wear pjs and I forgot to bring a stuffed animal. The movie was very good my favrite part of the movie was when despereaux went to the dungeon and in to the arena to fight the cat the cat was a little freaky he was big brown and had big teeth. I think that I liked the movie less I usually like the books better because they hold more information about the characters.

In math we did lots here are some of the best things. We are working on the break it up strategy it is where you have to break up the numbers in mental math. I really like mental math I pretty much like math all around it is my favourite subject. We also did a very easy math job it was plus and minus with regrouping and it is still large number I like large number because it is good for learning. We are also doing multiplication and it was a test for our house and I think that I did really good on and the one that timed me was my dad we had two minutes to do sixty question.

In social studies we worked on maps and we got our old gym teacher back I was really existed about getting Mrs. rand back but I was sad that Mrs. vhese was leaving but she said that she would try to be a substitute teacher. So we had to do a big job it took a very long time to do it was a map that we named all the mountains and the lakes and rivers in Canada. Me and ryan Werner were partners for the job and we finished really fast and we were accurate on spelling and all. I really liked knowing where the rivers and lakes was really cool.

In science we are doing our projects and it is really fun so far I think that I am done now plus we finished our time for researching. I am doing droughts and it a very fun and cool topic to learn about. I think next time I would do tsunamis I was going to do them originally was but then I changed my mind last second an now I am happy that I did that.

Class Celebration

Yesterday we had pj day. We are having are class celebration because we had a great first term. Almost the whole class wore their pjs and brought stuffed animals. Here are some of the animals: there are 3 dogs, 2 polar bears, 3 cats, 2 lizards, 1 sock monkey, and 1 duck. We are watching a movie called the tale of Despereaux it is a French name. We just finished the book. It was a very good movie, if I rated it maybe 3 and a half out of 5. I liked the part when he got in trouble at school.

Portfolios for Student Led Conferences

 What a fabulous first term we have had!  I would like to congratulate all the students for the preparation taken to build amazing portfolios to share at our student led conferences. What a pleasure it was to see the excitement and sense of pride shown to highlight the work we have done in term one. We were able to practice sharing our portfolios with each other just before conference time. Great job! I am proud of all of you and I know your parents are too!!

In gym on Wednesday we played Yoshi it was a very cool team competition game. This is how the game is set up there are two mats on each side and there are two sides a couple people guard  and a bunch of other people try to get over to the other matt without getting tagged. Are team lost one then we won one and the last game was a tie.

Last week we put together portfolios for parent teacher. Inside the portfolio we put all the things that we want to share with our parents. And we also put in things like our favourite pages, pages were we wrote the most and thing that we improved on. Each page has a tag that tells you what your child thinks about that page. We just finished them today and we shared them with a partner.

In art we made tissue paper winter trees. They were made with tissue put onto a paper with liquid waterish glue on it then we put the tissue on using a sponge. Then we let it dry. We painted the background using water colours. We cut out triangles to make the trees from the tissue paper.   It looked very cool. Here are my tissue paper trees.

This was a great week and I had a lot of fun doing fun art, getting ready for parent teacher and that fun game we played in gym.                     By Josh

Portfolios

Portfolios

This week at school we were building our portfolios and we had to make a name tag for the spine of the portfolio. Then we had to color it and then we chose two art things to put in the portfolios slots on the outsides. Then we made the tags for the work we chose. We got to pick  things we wanted to put in the portfolios. But then we had to move on to another subject and everybody didn’t want to stop working on portfolios because it was just so fun. I can’t wait to show my parents my portfolio and all the hard work I did.

Little Buddies

Today for little buddies we read a poem called, "The Owl" and we made paper owls. It was great to see the students read the poem with actions and create their owl. Thanks Ms Wasney for sharing this activity with us!

Design Project: Weather Vanes

In science we have been learning about weather and wind, so as a class we got to make weather vanes. The weather vanes had to have the four cardinal directions and a base they also had to represent a skydiving company. Every student had a logbook, and in the logbook it had questions, materials you had to use, there was also space for you to draw your sketch and (label) it. But first came planning, we started the project on Nov.5^th and ended it on Nov.13^th. In the planning section it said “This is a very important part of designing! "  

In the problem section it said… you are working for a local skydiving company and have been ask, to make an instrument to determine wind direction. You need to make a weather vane to meet the following criteria. My group was named Sky Masters, and the people in my group was Felicia and Riley and of course me. If you’re wondering how we tested it let me tell you, Mrs. Tresoor brought a blow dryer to school and then we put our weather vane on the table then she tried it at low speed and at the high speed and ours worked. It worked by the air blowing into the straw and out of the back. When Mrs. Tresoor stood at north the arrow would point into the blow dryer.   

 It was an awesome science project. I really liked making the weather vane.                                       By Melina

This week at school…

We made awesome books in French. They were fun but hard to make. First we had to fold the paper a certain way, and then we had to cut a little bit down the middle. The next part is hard. You have to pinch the sides and then it makes the shape of a diamond. Then you fold all the sides together to make a book.  It’s hard but after you have done all the steps you have an awesome book. The reason we made these books is because we read a different book in French called Bonjour Marc and we are making are own version of it. Mine is called Bonjour Renee and it is about me. I hope we make more of those books.

We read and wrote with are little buddies this week. My little buddy’s name is Carter and she is an awesome reader and writer. I also went with another girl because her big buddy was away. Her name was Kate and she is also an awesome reader and writer. What we did with them was First I got them to read a list of words and then I read the words to them and they wrote them on a white board. Both of them hardly got any words wrong. I can’t wait till we have little buddies again!!!

I got to go to wheelies this week! So did all the other patrols in the school division. It was the first time I ever went there. The first thing we did when we went there was get are roller skates, then we could go roller skating. I fell a few times but I got right back up. There was a snack bar that you could go to get snacks. I didn’t bring any money to buy stuff. Some of the things you could get were pizza, a freeze, popcorn, cotton candy, and some pop. At one time there was a game you could play. It is where you skated around but when the music stopped you had to go to one of the walls. Then the person who plays the music eliminates one wall. The last person there wins. I love roller skating and I love going to wheelies and I hope I can go again.

In gym we played a game called fruit salad. It’s where you are a fruit and when Ms. Vehse calls your fruit you have to run to the other side of the gym and back. The fruits were orange, apple, and pineapple. The last two people back have to go to the fruit salad. The fruit salad is the other side of the gym and when Ms. Vehse calls fruit salad all the people in the fruit salad run half way across the gym and the first three people back get to go back to the other side of the gym. I was SO tired after we played that game. I hope we play that game again sometime.

Bella!

Here at Birds Hill School we got these 2 webkinz bulldogs to represent our school. One is a girl and one is a boy and we had this contest where we would put down a name on this slip and then we put them in this box. Me and Ty P. both put Bella because both of our dogs are named Bella. This other girl in gr.3 put in Bower and the contest was I think 2 weeks ago. And since we won we got to have them for the day. Ty had Bella yesterday and the girl got Bower for the day and then I get Bella today!

During writers workshop I wrote a acrostic poem about Bella so here it is...

Beautiful and a barker

Amazing Grace

Today was our Remembrance Day assembly. There were excellent performances by all the groups involved. The grade 5 and 6 Recorder Club played Amazing Grace. Sadie, Hunter and Braden are members of the club from our class. Kirstyn is the other member and she is in grade 6. When the students came back to our room they played half the song again so it could be recorded. Enjoy. Take time this weekend to remember all those who helped to make our country a great place to live.

TWAS

This week at school...In gym we did juggling. It was really hard the teacher was Mr.A he is are old gym teacher. What we were juggling was beanbags it was harder with scrarfs because scarfs are lighter. But after a while Cam and I got the hang of it! What we also did were really races. Like human logs, leap frog and much more. But in the end we won it all.

What we are doing in are Science unit is... Weather, And  how its made and predicted. So what we are making in Science is a weather vane the groups were Felicia, Melina and I. I was really proud of how we all did because we all worked together. I think that are weather vane is one of the better weather vane's.

On November 9th we did are Remembrance Day assembly. What we did at the assembly was, the recorder club did a song called amazing grace it is a famous song. We also sang a song called Imagine and the beetles sing that song. What we also did was this song called go now in peace. This was one of the better remembrance days because we had a World War 2 person play the harmonica.

Sadly this is the last paragraph but it's not that bad because we do this every week! This week in art we did this dove art then you had to color it like tie die! This was my favourite art so far although my art isn't that great. The name of the book was What Does Peace Feel Like? We did this dove for a symbol of peace!

Unicef Update!

Wow, we really surpassed our Unicef class goal of $120. So far we have raised $431.65. We are off the graph!! Way to go Room 30 and all of the other classes. Our school has raised over $2 400 with more money coming in. Thanks to Ms Wasney and her students for collecting and counting all the money and for updating the graph. I can't wait to find out the final count next week. Thanks for supporting a great cause. How much money do you think Bird' Hill School will raise for Unicef this year?

This week at school my favourite part was… Halloween day! We had an assembly and saw others costumes and then had our party! We all enjoyed the snacks and enjoyed all the games that people brought. The best part was after the party afternoon we had gym with Ms. Wasney’s Class. The whole Halloween day was so fun and really cool.

 Another really fun thing this week was learning math patterns! We learned recursive and explicit patterns. Recursive means it’s always adding a number or subtracting a number. Explicit means you can skip to a number without having to make a big chart so explicit is easier than recursive.

I really love the t-shirt Colin got from Artsonia!

My second favourite thing this week was gym. We played a dodge ball game which was really awesome everyone was having so much fun. The game was really long and the next game was really short. The funniest thing was when I got hit by four balls at the same time and the best part about gym was that both teams won once so no one was mad that they didn’t win.

We also had computer lab on Monday. We all had to post a comment on the blog and then we were able to play math games on the internet. I played Free Rice most of the time because that’s a really fun game and I like to practice my multiplication facts, especially on that website. I like the free rice website because it has different questions every time it never has the same questions.

Last but not least Social Studies! My group is almost done our project on the Iroquois! I have done a word document, Robbie has done a power point, and josh has been researching for information. Our group is on stage four out of five. I would say our group is doing very well for only three people. The rest of the groups are mostly 4 people.

By Cam

Happy Halloween!

We had a great day full of Halloween spirit. We were able to decorate pumpkins that were donated to our school. There were lots of creative ideas shared. It was great to see families and friends come out to the costume parade in the gym. Wow, there were so many awesome costumes. Thanks to the families who offered to send treats for our Halloween celebration in our classroom. Yes, we even had some nutritious foods! Have a SPOOK-tacular evening everyone!! Remember to brush your teeth........and try to get some sleep tonight!

Great list of the week's events

This week at school… In math, we had our large numbers quiz. I am pretty confident about it. We didn’t get our mark back yet. We also had started practising mental math. We had two little sheets to do. It has a bunch of different questions, that were large numbers, and in addition. For an example, 5000 + 300 + 800 + 3000 = 9100. There was an extra question, at the bottom of the paper. It says a guy has a certain amount of money in his pocket, in coins. Then it says how many coins he has in his pocket. We have to the draw the amount of coins beside him, and which coins they are.

This week in Phys.Ed, we had a bunch of fitness stations. We got into partners, and I was with Michael. The stations were: push ups, sit ups, where we run from one hoola-hoop to another putting bean bags in them, skipping, etc. They were all fitness stuff. We also played this game called “Pumpkin patch”. It is where we have to bring pumpkin bean bags to our side, while trying to tag the other team. We also played a game called “SpongeBob tag”. It is like British bulldog, except it starts with two taggers, and if you get tagged, you go into the first hoola hoop. Then when another person gets tagged he or she goes into that hoola hoop, and the other person goes into the next one. When you get bumped out of the last hoola hoop, you are back in the game.

This week in Daily 4, we started poetry. We listened to a poem called I need to find a place. Then we would make up a poem that is similar to that poem. We also did this thing where we practiced the words “are” and “our”. We wrote down examples of those words.

My Best Friend Will

My best friend Will is a true story and it’s about autism. It’s a book that is really sad for me because some people just don’t understand about it and I want to make a difference to them. Autistic kids are just like us. The authors are Jamie Lowell &Tara Tuchel. Jamie is a girl that met Will in kindergarten. Jamie says Will is really fun to play with and he’s a great kid. This taught me that we should treat people in a good and respectful way. I recommend you should read this book. After we read the book I have learned more about autism like did you know that you’re born with autism and there’s no other way to get it. Everyone in my class including me had a big discussion about autism and differences about people. And I got to say most of the kids here had some really neat questions. Thanks Mrs.Tresoor’s cousin for sending that book all the way from Vancouver.

Bye!

Sincerely Michael :)

Unicef Campaign

We had a Unicef Assembly on Monday hosted by our friends in Room 31. The grade 5's performed a song Ms Wasney wrote to the tune of "We Will Rock You". Ms Wasney's class is challenging all classes to raise money to support this great cause. We hope the money raised will help to give children a chance to learn and to have a brighter future. The results from the campaign will be posted on the bulletin board in the main hallway. Ms Wasney made a double bar graph so it will help us learn about graphing too! Our classroom goal is to raise $120. We can't wait to see the graph grow.

                                    Thanks for your support!

October 31 is National

Unicef Day!

This week at school we learned about the water cycle. We got to watch videos and write down information as we watch the video. We also had to write down something that surprised us in the video. We had to draw a picture and label it that shows a fact about the water cycle. My picture showed how water vapour or gas turned in to water droplets that filled up the clouds and when the clouds could not hold any more it exploded open and created precipitation. When we were finished we got to watch the video again just in case we missed a fact. If we got all the facts we could watch the video just for fun.

In social studies we researched our groups first nations people. But this time we had netbooks so it was easier to find information. When we are done we get to pick two more things we could research about the Sioux clan. Our group is now researching two different facts about our clan. Me and my group Michael and riley got a lot of work done. Since we were all on task the whole time we got to play two number games after. I got picked to whisper a number to Mrs. Vhyse and the class got to guess the number. The second time Sadie picked number. I forget sadies number but my number was ninety nine.

In gym we had to do a lot of running. My partner was Michael. I got a card and Michael got a card Michael ran laps first. I kept track of how many times Michael ran around on his paper. We each got six minutes to run around the gym. Michael ran around the gym eight times. I ran around the gym seventeen times. It was really tiring.

Today we did a small math review to get us ready for the math test on October 24. We had to write numbers in words. We had to also do numbers In expanded form and write down the ones, ten, hundreds, thousands,ten thousands, and hundred thousands. On our purple sheet we had to solve word problems I only got one question done though. The question I got done was asking who’s way of writing the numbers from least to greatest denny’s way or lea’s denny’s way was right I think.

We got to make Halloween silhouettes. My silhouette had a haunted tree, a black cat and a haunted mansion. At first we had to paint on paper and make our paper look like a sunset. The colors I used were black, purple, yellow, orange blue and light blue. I finished my silhouette.

By Branden

Spooktacular Silhouettes!

In art ….

Part 1 à  We made a sunset with the colours yellow, orange, red, blue, green, purple and black. You use the colours to make it look like a sunset. But first you have to put water all over the paper. Then you put the colour in the order you want. I started with yellow on the bottom. It is really cool when the colours blend.

Part 2 àYou cut out black construction paper and make haunted house, black cats, owls, trees, moons, ghosts and fences. You can make as many as you want. You want to file up you page. You place them out on your page and glue them on. You also have white paper and yellow paper. So some people used the yellow paper in the window and door. As Riley says, the silhouettes look amazingly awesome!

Welcome Buddies!

Our Little Buddies came to our classroom this week. We were able to listen to them read poems from their poetry books. Then the grade 5's and grade 1's worked hard at finding rhyming words in the poems. Thanks for spending time with us! Which poem did you like the best?

Little Buddies

Mrs. Tresoor’s class is little buddies with Mrs. Kohut’s class. My little buddy is a girl named Kate. I'm hoping that if we read more she will become a book worm like I am by the end of the year. Kate is really nice and I can’t wait until next time we have little Buddies! Last time we read a book Kate picked out. It was about a girl that had to spend the summer with her Aunt. We didn’t really read a whole lot because the book had some French in it so I had to explain it to her. We do little buddies so little kids learn to trust bigger kids. We also do little buddies so we can set good examples for them.  I always look forward to next time!

What's new?

Here's a peek into Room 30. A few students volunteered to talk about some things we have been doing over the last few days. Their comments were videotaped and have been included in our Animoto! Thanks for sharing. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend everyone! Gobble....gobble.

Hello blog readers!

This week at school, we had little buddies! Little buddies are younger kids (grades 1 or 2) that we will do projects or other activities with. This week we read to them, and they read to us. My buddy seems to like non-fiction books, and he likes phys Ed. Our class is little-buddied up with Mrs.Kohuts class. (What a nice circle. I was once a little buddy in Mrs.Kohuts class, and now I’m the big buddy for Mrs.Kohuts class.) This is our first time being a big buddy.

At school, we read a book called “how many jellybeans?”. It may sound like a really weird book, but it is actually really cool. The book is brand new that we got for the school library. We were the very first ones to take it out. I heard Ms.Wasneys class is going to take it out too. The book is all about two kids, both wants more jellybeans than the other. At the end, it folds out and shows one MILLION JELLYBEANS! It’s so many jelly beans!

For art this week, we made leaves out of many different colours of paper! On each different colour, it shows a bit of writing. There are two different categories you can choose from. The categories are either “what I am thankful for” or “what I love about fall”. I did “what I am thankful for”. You can only choose one. You also have a colour choice on the outside of the leaf. The choices were red, yellow, orange or brown. I chose red. I wrote under “I am thankful for” friends. Family. Food. Water. And a few more.

This week in reader’s workshop, we learned a strategy to become a better reader, and get a better understanding of the book we are reading! The strategy is called check for understanding. Every page and a half, page or even two pages, you would stop and ask yourself the same two questions: who, what. The “what” means: what did I just read? The “who” means: who did I just read about? Both questions you are supposed to answer. Later you can tell your friend about it. It’s a really neat strategy!

Cross Country Run

The Divisional Cross Country Run for students in grades 3-6 was held at Bird's Hill Park on Monday, October 1. We had six students from our class participating in this event. These students came out to several morning training sessions to prepare for the run. What a great way get their hearts pumping! Congratulations to all of our Bird's Hill School participants. We are proud of you! Keep running and being active. Thanks to Mrs. Glover for taking these great photos.

This week at school… we did writers notebook. You get to choose a topic to write about and I wrote about my favourite artists for songs and had about 23 and they were mostly like pitbull and more. Next time I would do a story with characters. So if we didn’t know what to write about we would use this heart in our notebook and it says the people you love and maybe your favourite vacation and write what you did there and a whole lot more. Then you can talk about them if you have nothing to write about so you can get ideas.

For phys. Ed we did a fitness video in the library and the reason why we weren’t in the gym because photos were being taken there. There were like 20 dances but we did 6 but they were a little too easy. They were not that hard and I would like to challenge myself that’s what you do in grade 5. Then we had to feel our neck for the pulse from our heart. What we also did in gym was an obstacle course in gym and I was playing hockey with some friends at the same time I also wanted to on the high ropes.

For art we did pointillism and what that is when you make a design then you trace it with little dots. When you’re done you erase the pencil (since it can’t erase marker). The piture I’m making is a rainbow with not the same colors that your supposed to do.I think my pointillism is going to turn out really neat.

Meet Room 30!

Here's the crew in Room 30. What a fine group of students!!
Thanks Ms Wasney for sharing your frame and neat idea with us!

Camp Arnes

Camp Arnes was so exciting. Most of the activities give you such a rush it is uncontrollable! Here let me tell you all about it.

Rock climbing was a challenge to do because some of the rocks would turn and some are missing! You have to get to the top so you can ring the bell so you can show that you finished. I did it so I know!

Instincts for Survival was a game that you needed a partner. You go around looking for vegetation and water to survive. There were omnivores, herbivores, Humans, diseases, carnivores, and elements and if you ask me there were sure a lot of enemy’s!

During Cooperative Games & Initiative tasks we had a 4 way tug of war) this was pretty hard. There were four groups of 4-6 just make sure you pick a very strong team or else you will probably lose. The second game we played in this was really hard you get into 2 groups of grade 6 vs. 5. You are in a forest and have to make a shelter out of anything you can find, like sticks, twigs, moss, grass, bark, trees and so much more! Ours was pretty big and it had a lot of holes but we only had a hour!

In Orienteering you have a map and a pencil. you have to go around looking for marks with a number and a symbol so you can mark it down. Each mark you get you can get points. You can get points of 10, 15, 20 the person with to most points won! Our team got 200 points.

Personally High Ropes was my favourite there were 5 climbing stations, I think. My favourite was the High Rise. I don’t really think it had a name so I named it. My partner for it was Alex the goal was to touch the top of the tower me and him both did it. It was 30-35 feet it was sooooooooo high!

Zip Line is the final thing I will tell you about. This was such a rush! You have to climb up a telephone pole. Then the person that is up there would strap you in. You go across a ditch really fast then you hit some tires to slow you down so the person could catch you.  Being so high in the air and zipping so fast it gives you a rush.

All together this was a really great place to grow and learn new things. We were there for 3 days and it went by so quickly! It was unbelievable! I learned so many things about myself like when I went on the high rise I didn’t know I could go so high and not get stuck ;)

Camp Arnes a place to grow!!

Funny Happenings

Today we are all finishing our name art. That is when we write our names on a paper in weird ways. Some letters have to touch the top and some had to touch the side or bottom. Then after all that was done you got to make some designs on it in all the spaces.  We had put some in the display case in the front of the school.

But before all that happened we had French. We were in the middle of French when Mrs. Dehn came in with her French dog named Louie. So then some of the class started to laugh because we were in French and she said Louie was a French dog. Some of the class was wondering if the dog could talk in French! Louie looked like an Oreo cookie. He looked like a yummy one too. Hope I get to see him again.

First Days in Grade 5

On my first day I got to see all my friends. Then we organized our desks and put our school supplies in our desks. We made our name tags to go on our desks and the name tags are split into four spaces and you had to draw pictures and you had to write about are drawings and then they got taped on. Then when everyone was done there name tags we had to share what we wrote inside two boxes or all four. And we learnt a lot about each other from what we all wrote

Silent Cheer!

 Then we had to choose good fit books and we got notebooks we had to write in about our first days in grade five. At the end of our first day we got our agendas and we did a silent cheer and Mrs.Tresoor said that’s the end of day one and at the end of the day we packed up went to the door answered our exit question then we went home.

My thoughts of grade five are its really fun Mrs.Tresoor is a really fun teacher and I like the art that we do. I’m looking forward to learning new things and meeting new people.
