Today we had a great morning as it was filled with music and laughs. We had the Acapella group : Hoja in our school today. They taught us a little about what acapella is, how we can make some of the songs, and of course entertained us with their songs. They played lots of the hits and the students had the chance to dance and sing along. For many of us the funniest parts were when Mr. Dyck went on stage and joined the group to the song BBQ Stain. He sported a pink hat and some great dance moves that made everyone smile. Another great part was when two of the singers sang "Pretty Lady" to Ms. Carstairs. She was very embarrassed but was such a great sport. If you want to know more about Hoja, check them out here: Hoja's Website
We have also been busy preparing for our assembly, which will be June 2nd. You are invited to join us in the morning in the gym or come to our Volunteer Appreciation in the afternoon as we will perform at each. Each student got to choose how they would like to contribute to our assembly: playing the Acadian spoons, creating a First Nations canoe or writing riddles about Canadian Wildlife. We have been working on this for two sessions and are eager to see how it all turns out.
In writing, we are learning more about how to make our reader more engaged and interested in our writing. We are using our senses to help write a descriptive writing piece about a giant. We are learning about ways to describe our giants using similes and other comparative writing. We will post some as we get finished!
We hope everyone has a great week!
