Variety Showcase and Cross Grade Activity


We had a Variety Showcase yesterday. I played my guitar, Mikayla played the piano and Hailey did her hoops routine. I had to practice a lot. I played the song Dirty Deeds. We had to play in front of the whole school and the parents. I felt a little bit scared. I think I did good. All the performances were really good.

Our whole school read with their little buddies yesterday. We had popsicles first and then we read. My little buddy read Fantastic Planet. We read with our buddies a lot. My buddy has improved so much. I can tell just by the books she is reading.

Little Buddies

We finally got together with our little buddies in grade 1. It is so nice to see connections being made with the older and younger students in our building. For our first visit we read to each other. We can't wait for all the fun experiences we will have together this year!

Fun With Dots

This week we are talking about International Dot Day. We read a book called “The Dot.” The book was very interesting. It was about a girl who was in art class and how she thought she was not good at art/drawing. She was starting to get angry and just made a dot on her paper. When she came to school the next day the painting she made was framed above her teachers desk. We think this book is telling us you always have to try your best. Just get started and you never know what will happen. We designed our own dots. Mrs.Tresoor showed us an app called “ColAR Mix.” What you do is you take a picture of the dot and you press a button to make your dot come to life! Enjoy the video! By: Brooke and Mikayla

International Dot Day

September 15 is International Dot Day. This day is inspired by Peter H. Reynolds's book called The Dot, which is celebrating its 10th anniversary this year. It is a book that encourages the creativity to bloom in all of us. Can't wait to read the book to the class on Monday! Thanks Mrs. Dent Scarcello for letting us know about this fun day.

T.W.A.S.


This week at school….
We went to the star dome. A star dome is like a mini planetarium. When we were in there we got to listen to some stories and one of them (my favourite) was called the squirrel saved summer. Once there was a female squirrel noticed that it was still cold out. The north wind howled and squirrel thought the bird’s aret chirping.so squirrel went and searched up and down for days. But then one day squirrel found a cave and heard the birds in there she went deeper in to the cave and saw the birds tide up with little sting. She gnawed on the string to set them free. The birds got out on time but squirrel got spotted by the god of winter and squirrel got shot with a bow and arrow and got pined to the sky and you can see him at night he is  what you call the big dipper.
In I love to read month (February) we all got to wear a readable shirt.it was really neat to see everybody wearing a readable shirt. We also have another readable shirt day on the 22.some kid’s wore sport shirt or name cites and lots more.
In Fit-A-Thon I went loco why you may ask because everyone was so tried but me and my friend ran so many extra laps. I still what to run more. Everyone was looking at me and my friend weirdly. But I feel great.
In curling we played on an outdoor rink (in the school yard). It was cool to be able to be able to do it at the school for gym. I got one point for our team. It was hard to get the rock all the way across the rink. It took a lot of effort.
Have a good weekend Room 30 readers!!

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!
