Friday, February 7
We started off our Friday with our regular Circle sharing and compliments time, as well as discussing and sharing the meanings of the Words of the Day for the week. We followed this with Social Studies, during which time some (most!) groups volunteered to share their newscasts about the Interior Plains region of Canada. Students worked very hard on these newscasts, and they turned out really well! Be sure to ask your child to show you theirs! (It should be on their Google Drive account.) We had Phys. Ed. time with Ms. Raude's class for a change, enjoying a choice day. Then we finished up our mug art in Art. These look fantastic! Way to go! For students who are not yet done this artwork, it is now Unfinished Work.
After break, we finished chapter 14 of The Boundless and did our storyboards. Then we started on the whole school literacy activity of creating a kindness tree for our buddy class. We listened to the book Have You Filled a Bucket Today?, and talked about how we can fill other people's buckets. One way to do this is to spread messages of kindness, love, and encouragement, which is what we did for our grade 2 buddies. Each student wrote an encouraging message on a heart and added it to our kindness tree, which we then brought to Ms. Foesier's class to spread some love and cheer. Our buddies are also making us a similar tree, which we are sure will warm our hearts and fill our buckets! Hawkwood School is certainly full of love leading up to Valentine's Day next week!
Note: Grade 3 students will be coming around to sell their remaining "Koalas for a Kause" this Monday, February 10. If students are interested in purchasing a stuffed koala that was handmade by a grade 3 student in our school, the cost is $3.50, and the money goes to support animals in Australia impacted by the fires. Please consider supporting this worthwhile cause, and bring $3.50 if you can!
