Mr. Kapilik telling a story.

The animals for the Seven Teachings

Wow what an amazing week at school! There is a lot of stuff I don’t know where to start oh I know this week in school we learned about the 7 teachings.  It was so awesome! These teachings help us have a good life. Mr. Kapilik told us a story about how beavers got a flat tail. It was really interesting.  Everyone in our class is making a story that will go into a book.

Guess what? We had p-j day on January 7! It was so cool because we got to wear our p-js to school. I wore my onesy and slippers. It was so awesome. Did you have p-j day when you were young? It was so comfortable to wear all day. 

Wow what an awesome gym class. In gym we did gymnastics. In gymnastics we did rolls and other stuff. I signed up for gymnastics club. I love gymnastics it is so fun to do.

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year! Yesterday was our first day back. But yesterday the buses weren’t running, and also buses weren’t running today either. Yesterday we started a new year’s art. So what you do for this art is:

1. Count how many letters in your name and add 2014 and that is how many boxes you need for this art
2. Make the boxes using only horizontal and vertical lines  
3. The put your name and 2014 in those boxes in block letters or bubble letters
4. Colour the negative or positive spaces with ONLY 1 colour
5. Erase the pencil marks
6. You can colour with marker or pencil crayon
    
   Today we also have PJ day! Mostly everyone wore their PJ’s. It isn’t a party though, just normal work. We also got to bring a stuffy! I wish I could wear our PJ’s every day!
    
   We wish everybody a great year in 2014.    -By Brooke

This week at school we had a very busy week. First things first prezi. Prezi’s a tool you use to make a presentation. I used it to make one on avalanches. I think I did a pretty good job for the first time using it. I even learned how to insert videos into my presentation. It’s really easy once you get the hang of it. Also this week we had little buddies! We did a craft we made stars. The stars were made of pipe cleaners, straws and beads. I think they looked nice. I hope we get to do more fun crafts. After we showed the teacher/Mrs.tresoor we got a candy cane each. In Writers workshop this week we did our holiday traditions. One of mine are going to my grandma’s house and playing secret Santa. After that we have a big dinner. Also every year we decorate the tree. Even if the tree is too small or too big. Also this week we did art. We were making something for Christmas. All I can tell you is…its very colourful. Oh and it took a long time to make we are still working on them. I think my mom’s going to love mine. Oh and tomorrow we are all going to the gym to sing Christmas carols. I hope we sing for a long time like forever. Tomorrow is the last day of school until January 6th. I hope tomorrow will be fun. Merry Christmas! By Mikayla

I Love Skiing!

Getting ready to ski.

We want skiing in gym class, we had to find out our boot size. My size is 39. After we got our boots we got to grab our skis. We measured our skis by our wrists. The tip of the skis should be up to our wrist. We want in the back field to go skiing. We practiced gating up after we fell in the snow. When you fall put your skis side by side then you get your hands on the ground and push yourself back up. Cross country skiing is really easy and fun.

Practicing getting up from a fall.

Great day for skiing.

Our Class Pet

Our class pet his name is Jeff and he is full of beans. We all voted for the name Jeff and there were a lot of names but Jeff was number one. I was the creator of him. I thought of the name Jeff and I said this is the right name. I think some of the people in my class disagreed but again a lot of people in my class liked the name. When I heard we had a class pet I was very excited then the name popped into my head… Jeff! Then at that moment Mrs.Tresoor said here is a paper to put the names you think of and I raced to Mrs. Tresoor’s desk. I think I was the first one at the her desk and at that moment I was hoping the name Jeff would win. Then close to the end of the day we voted on the names and that’s how Jeff got his name. Now he loves his name that I gave him and he loves his life. Welcome to our classroom Jeff!!

Wow it was an amazing Christmas concert! I can’t wait to tell you about it. I saw the other class perform on Tuesday. It was awesome. I think they did so well. The next day on Wednesday we had ours. It was good. I was the person at the front handing out the programs with Alyssa. I liked it and I think Alyssa liked doing that too. But we had a system. it was when I handed out one I said welcome the great hall and Alyssa would say enjoy the concert then if she handed out one she would say welcome to the great hall and I would say enjoy the concert. And then the concert came on it was amazing!

Its field trip time. For our field trip we made hampers. We packed one hamper for a family of two one little boy and one mom. We put food toys, mittens, spider man P.J’s. Then we made some boxes so they don’t look so plain. I enjoy doing that for people to get a Christmas like me.
 

Now its little buddies my favourite. My little buddy was not there till we had to leave sadly but I got Brookes buddy Maxx. It’s funny my buddies name is Maddox and Brookes is Maxx. It’s cute but I still got to read to a buddy. They are so cute. I’m glad he’s my buddy.

I'm dressed warm for the weather!

This week at school we had gym and we got to go snowshoeing. It was so much fun. We got to learn how to put them on and off. When we got outside Mrs. Rand said put them on and then go in the field and walk around. When the whistle blew we had to come to Mrs. Rand. Snowshoeing was so much fun. Next time we are going to go skiing. I can’t wait.

The next thing we did was temperature graph. We got a new temperature graph. This time we do the current temperature and the wind chill. The temperature was -32 degrees Celsius with the wind chill. The wind chill makes it really cold like today. Brrrrr it was so cold dress warm everyone!

Next we did was holiday traditions. It was so fun we had to write what does it sounds like, what does it look like, what does it smell like, What does it taste like, people we see, and things we do. Christmas traditions I do my self is open presents and have family come over to have supper. I’m looking forward to the holidays but I will really miss school especially I will miss Mrs. Tresoor.

Birch Tree Artwork

In art we made birch trees. The first step was we had to make tree shapes out of masking tape. Some of us cut the tape to make a thinner trunk. Then out of extra pieces of tape we would make our branches. After that was done we would paint the background with water colour paints but we couldn’t paint to the bottom because the bottom would be our snow. Then we put salt on the paint to give it a cool effect. Once the paint dried we would peel off the tape. After we peeled off the tape we would use pastels but we could only use the black and the grey. First we would use the black and draw lines on the trunk and the branches to make it look like a birch tree. Then we would use the grey to make it have the shadow effect. If we wanted we could add snowflakes. To put the snowflakes we would use a Q-tip or the end of a paint brush. They look so amazing! You can check them out in our hallway and also on Artsonia.

This week at school we played a game called koosh ball. How you play is you throw a rubber object at the smart board and it would hit a circle. It would give you a multiplication question. You answer the question. To check if you got it right you tape on the smart board. I got to throw the rubber thing at the smart board only one time because everyone wanted a try.

This week we also had a volleyball tournament at Dr. Hamilton School. The kids on my team were Brody, Jordan, Nick M, Nat and Ryan S. Not to brag but I have a wicked serve that almost always went over the net. I did make a few good bumps that went over the net and the other team was not able to get it back over the net.

This week we also played a game with cards called multiplication war. My partner was Brody. And something funny about the game was we got a war at the very last two cards. We both got twenty. So we took cards from our pile of cards and I actually won the war. Then Mrs. Tresoor got us to put it on Instagram. It is a picture of the war we had and Brody’s hands look like his is sobbing in sadness and my hands are like yes I win so it is a really funny photo.

We also had this week a gym class where we run laps around the gym, S well you are running your partner was counting how many laps you did. My partner was Jerrett. He got twenty six laps but I only got twenty two or four I don’t remember. On my run I came in second because Ryan got twenty six like Jerrett. But I am still happy because I got second place. It is like getting a silver medal in the Olympics. But we are in school not they Olympics.
