Hello Readers!
Thanks for checking in to our classroom blog!
Dare I begin by saying...I think spring is finally here...? Hopefully I didn't jinx us. Mother Nature must have taken our hint when we were bundled up for our "Spring"field trip to the Helen Schuler Center in winter jackets, hats and mittens. Our students were such troopers though! No one complained of the cold. Not even the parents who came to help! Thank you to those parents who were able to help out and high fives all around!
Next week is "Education Week" and we've got a number of things lined up around our school. We'll begin the week by celebrating "Music Monday". If you haven't heard of this special event- google it!! It's such a neat idea- people around the world at the same time will be singing with Commander Chris Hadfield (who is in SPACE!!) a really neat song called "Is Somebody Singing". Ms. Nevels has been working hard to rehearse our kids and I bet if you YouTube it at home, your Grade 1'er will be singing in perfect key! If you're around MMH on Monday at 10:30, we will all gather in the gym for a *quick* assembly to sing, and logging into a LIVE webcast with Commander Hadfield!! How cool!!
Tuesday, May 7th is the day we've all been waiting for!! The Grade 1s are hosting an MMH Family Assembly! This is the day that we're asking each Grade 1 student to wear something special for their song. Girls are invited to wear dresses or skirts, and boys are invited to dress nice as well! We discussed in class that if students do not want to dress up, they can always choose to just wear a solid coloured shirt, and dark pants as well! Please join us if you can in the gym for our Family Assembly at 12:30.
On Wednesday and Thursday of next week, in order to promote "community" at our school, we're having a "Teacher Switch", where teachers will visit different classrooms and share favourite books with students from different grades.
Did you know our school is 25 years old!? We've got bulletin boards all around the school with a "25" theme. Check them out if you have a chance!
Our Math A Thon went really well on Wednesday, and it was nice to see the students confident in their work! We munched on "Lucky Charms" and everything went really well! Remember you have until May 15th to work on collecting the pledges, and the brown envelopes can be handed into the office or in your chid's agenda.
We have a field trip booked to the Art Gallery! Our Grade 1 class is going to see the art exhibit called "Arts Alive and Well in the Schools". This is an exhibit with pieces of art from students all across the city of Lethbridge! This is honestly one of my favourite field trips to go to! We are going on Friday May 17th, from 9:00-10:30. If you are able to help drive students for this event, please email me back as soon as possible!
We are also in need of 5 more egg cartons!! If you have any more please send them in!
Thanks for reading!
