A big thank you to everyone who volunteered in the past two weeks to make our field trips possible. It was a nice change to be learning outside the classroom. Both trips were a big success and it was most interesting to hear the students' views about our walk in the forest, as well as riding the city bus. We walked quite a bit on both days, and all students remained positive throughout the day. After our trip to the Royal BC Museum, working in groups, students shared with the class what they had learned during the trip. I was impressed with how many details they had noticed in the Museum.
Here's a quick look at what is going on this week at school:
Monday - Busy day: Library book exchange, P.E. with our little buddies in the morning.
In the afternoon we have our monthly assembly. We will be receiving a trophy from the fire department for our very quiet & orderly fire drill back in October. It was the quietest I had ever experienced.
At this assembly we will also be honouring our music/choir teacher, Gail Evans, for being named an "Outstanding Professional Educator" by the BC Music Educators Association. We are very lucky to have such a dedicated and knowledgeable teacher at our school.
Tuesday - Choir practice in the afternoon
Wednesday - 11:52 Dismissal. Parent/Teacher interviews from 1pm to 5pm. Interview notices were sent home in the report card envelopes.
In the morning, my son Eric, a member of the UVic Rocketry Club, will be speaking to the class about space exploration.
Thursday - 11:52 Dismissal. Parent/Teacher interviews from 1pm to 5pm. Interview notices were sent home in the report card envelopes.
Friday - Choir practice in the morning
