Schlockey Project

Students in room 207 worked together to build three new schlocky boards for the playground. It was a fantastic experience for everyone involved. Thank you to Kellen, Hayden’s dad, for coming in and working with us (as well as donating all of the materials!).

If anyone comes across wooden hockey sticks, or old broken ones without the blades, we need a supply of them to keep us playing through the winter.

Reading buddy fun.

Celebrating the season with our reading buddies.  They shared a French play with us.

We are looking at the comma this week.  Here are some fun activities that we may use in class when we get time between other tasks...

Remembrance Day

Churchill takes time to remember.  Our class did a wonderful job of hosting the sharing.  Every student had a talking piece either introducing someone or presenting with our class.  Then the whole junior division walked to the Westboro cenotaph for the 2pm ceremony.  School of rock performed the two songs from our earlier sharing, to a lot of attention from the assembled crowd.  Students were very well behaved, despite the cold.
