Note Home

Hello All,

Just a note to update you on lessons and activities.

Our first swimming lesson went well. Thank you to all volunteer drivers.

We have a class blog I will be using to share news and future updates, pictures and comments from students. It can be found at http://mrponds.blogspot.ca. I am going to begin signing up followers so that you will receive the blog updates in your email. If you do not receive the blog, please visit the page and put an email address in the window at top.

Our class will be participating in the Roots of Empathy program. Guest Sheila Wilson will guide us though the social, emotional and physical development of Baby Julian. I have included an updated weekly schedule on the reverse of this page.

Earth Rangers.

The Earth Rangers visited Kinnikinnick on October 29. It was a great presentation with lots of action and an introduction to many endangered species. We can all do our part to be aware of the challenges faced by wildlife.

LAST DAY OF SCHOOL IN GRADE 6

I have asked students to write a paragraph describing memorable moments from this year. I'm very proud of everyone and what they've accomplished this year. Best of luck in grade 7!

H.A.C.E. Presentation: Julia Budd

Mixed martial arts champion Julia "The Jewel" Budd came to our class yesterday to talk with students about her career as an athlete and as a student growing up on the Sunshine Coast. I have asked students to comment on something they may have learned from our discussion. 

     Spring is a time for fresh starts and new beginnings. I have asked the class to comment on some of their goals for this time of year. Personal, academic and social.
