Miss Gill's Nighthawk Rock Stars!!

Dear Families, Are we seriously in the last week of September!?  Time flies when you're having fun with our peers and teachers!  October is soon upon us and there is so much we're looking forward to in and out of the classroom - Orange Shirt Day, Thanksgiving, Halloween, and so much more!  Let's make next month just as special as this one :) Character Recognition Assembly: At the end of every month, we as a school community celebrate a spirit day (today’s was Western Day) and the Character Trait of the month.  Thank you to all the students who showed school spirit and dressed up in their Western attire!  Yee-HAW!!! This month’s character trait is  Caring – “We show kindness towards each other.”   I will take time on the blog to share and honour the recipients. I strongly believe an important part of our learning is to build and instill character in our children.  As a teacher, I do my best to model these traits consistently in my thoughts, words, and actions. 

Dear Families, Another fun-filled week for us!  I am very pleased with how students have transitioned from their holidays to school mode!  As you’ve probably gathered from my blog updates, we have been go, Go, GO with our learning in class!  Look at how much we’ve accomplished in a mere 3 weeks!  Looking forward to much more learning to be done in the coming weeks.  Stay tuned! Our Trip to the G.N.E.: Today, my Grade 3 students and Mrs. O’s class went to the G.N.E. to participate in a science and health related field trip. Every year, the G.N.E runs a very purposeful program for all students.  We got to be part of several amazing learning stations such as Horses, Dairy Farming, Little Buckaroos, Sheep Shearing, Soil, and Healthy Snacks!  As well, we got to spend an hour exploring the venue in our groups!  These stations kept us fully engaged and we came away with many new learnings that I’m sure your child will eagerly share with you over the weekend!  The knowledgeable staff was
