Be a Bucket Filler

Motivational Magic with Steve Harmer performed at Macklin School this morning.  His magic show thrilled the Grade 1's as he showed us how to be "bucket fillers".  You can see by the Grade 1's faces how entertained they were.  You can find out more about this presentation at his website:  www.motivationalmagic.ca

 

Thanksgiving Program

We walked to St.Joseph's Health Center where we performed our Thanksgiving Program.  We sang, recited poems and danced for our guests.  Thank you to the Health Center for the snack and for all the parents who came to watch.

Ride in a Fire Truck to School?

A Grade 3 student and the Grade 2 teacher won a ride to school in a fire truck today.  We gathered outside to watch.  Fireman Pat came over to remind us to check our smoke detectors at home.

The Cutest Turkeys Ever!

 

We had fun turning pipe cleaners and pine cones into the cutest little turkeys!

Library

We love library exchange day.  Our librarian, Miss Weinkauf, reads to us and after we pick our new book to take home, we get cozy in the library and Read to Self.

Turkey Costumes

We had so much fun making our turkey costumes for our Thanksgiving program which we will perform on Friday, October 10 at 2:00 at St. Joseph's Health Center.

September Spirit Day Assembly

 

We celebrated September's Spirit Day Assembly with cooperative games, reciting out school cheer, and wearing our school colours.  We ended the assembly with a group picture.

 

Arrrrr! All Hands on Deck!

We are excitedly building a pirate ship for our classroom.  Everyone is lending a helping hand.  Today we painted the box our teacher cut into a ship and used paper rolls for the frame of the mast.  We just need sails, a crows' nest, a flag, cushions, and then, let the adventures begin!
