Tomorrow, November 11th, is Remembrance Day.
Students,
How will you observe Remembrance Day this year?
You could wear a poppy.
You could thank a veteran.
You could observe a moment of silence.
You could attend a ceremony.
You could learn more about the war.
You could remember.
Students presented at the Remembrance Day Ceremony this morning.
They sang two songs and recited the poem In Flanders Fields.
In addition, they had the chance to hear from our guest speaker Chief Warrant Officer St-Onge.
Room 18 celebrated Halloween with...
*an Amazing Race full of problems to solve in Math
In English Language Arts we are reading aloud the novel Out of My Mind by Sharon M. Draper.
The main character is Melody, who lives with cerebral palsy and is non-verbal.
This afternoon, our school psychologist, Mme Caitlyn, told us more about cerebral palsy, the brain and the difference between visible and non-visible disabilities.
We reviewed the elements of art (including line, texture and colour) to create these fall leaves.
What beautiful work!
Since school began, we have been discussing RESPECT and what it means in the classroom.
We brainstormed our ideas together.
We then combined our best ideas together into one handy-dandy poster, which we have all signed and pledged to follow throughout the year. It will hang just outside the door as a constant reminder of how to be a classroom community.
Students also created posters showing how to show respect in other areas of the school.
They are now hung in the hallway to remind all students how to show RESPECT!
This morning we had a presentation from Elections Manitoba to learn more about the government and the voting process.
Three students were randomly selected to be candidates, and, in groups, all the students helped the candidates prepare a speech to explain how they might use fifteen thousand dollars to better Robert Browning.
