Friday, November 29

Today we had our regular Circle time, with both time for sharing and time to give one another thoughtful compliments. We also passed Goosey, as we always do on Fridays, to a student who has shown "goose-like" behaviour by supporting others and being a leader. In a fabulous show of generosity, one of the students in our class also brought in a stuffed duck, Ducky, to be passed in a similar manner to Goosey. Now we can recognize two outstanding members of our classroom community each week!! Thank-you once again to the student who gave Ducky to our class!


We also continued working on our birch tree art that we began yesterday, using watercolour paint to fill in the sky and then sprinkling it with salt to create a cool effect. This continues to be an ongoing project in Art.




One of the highlights of today was, of course, Deck the Halls! Students had a great time creating holiday light crafts to represent their names and supporting their grade 2 buddies in doing the same. As all classes in the school spent the end of the day creating festive crafts to decorate our school, Hawkwood is looking very ready for the holidays! Great work everyone!




It was fantastic seeing so many students sporting facial hair today to raise awareness for men's health, in the spirit of Movember! Thank-you as well to the students and families who brought in monetary donations for this important cause.


A reminder that our first day of inline skating is this Monday, December 2. Students are welcome to bring in their own helmets and pads, but please ensure that any personal items are labelled with the student's name. Students are by no means required to bring in their own gear; inline skates and protective equipment will be provided for all students!
