 Title: Halloween is right around the corner!

Author: Jazzy

Date: October 20, 2020 

Classroom Quote of the week: "Did you hear? Donald Trump called himself Big T.”

“No Way! Our Big T. is the original” (Risi) 

Song of the Week: -None - we were missing many students all week and just did our Music Tournament instead. 

All about me

My name is Jaspinder, I am a new student at this school. I prefer for my classmates to call me Jazzy. I like playing soccer and Among Us. Those are my favourite activities and my favourite candy is Sour Patch Kids.

The Best Thing About This Week (The Rose)

Since we had fewer students this week (some days only nine), our teacher Mr.Hodgkinson had more one-on-one time with us. We are getting through most of our work.

The Worst Thing About This Week (The Thorn)

We couldn’t get through everything because two Covid cases struck our school and parents were understandably worried about the health and safety of the children. Therefore, many didn’t send them to school. So we laid back on some things to wait for the missing students. We didn’t want to get ahead and exclude or have to do too many things over.

Mathematic Mentions

This week we worked on decimal addition and using more than one strategy to solve a word problem or an equation.

We have also started using a program called Shapegrams which allows us to make objects using shapes. Therefore, we are learning geometry.

Literacy Links

After waiting a week, we finally started our novel Prairie Lotus. We are participating in the Global Read Aloud, so many schools all over the world are also reading it. This includes the students we met during our Mystery Meets. They are in Tampa Bay, Florida and Delton, Michigan. 

The Arts

Shapegrams are also art and we remixed the original program to create our own house designs. You can see them at our Class Website.

What are we looking forward to? (The Bud)

We are looking forward to getting all of our students back. On Monday, we were back up to 18, but still missing a few.  Once the final number settles, we can continue our work that we have missed or have delayed.

Quote of the Week

We didn’t choose one this week. Too few students were away.

#HClass24 - It's automatic, it's systematic, it's hyyyyyydromalic, it's Grease Lighting! - December 3, 2024

  Introduction:  Hello, my name is Takshi! This week I will write the blog for #HClass24. I like playing the guitar, reading, writing, and scrapbooking. I’m also an author of a novelette (It’s almost published). The Rose:  This Wednesday, we went to Saint Andre Bessette High School to see Grease Jr. It was a great musical and the class loved the songs. The actors were exceptionally good and what surprised me the most was the live band also made up of high school students! The band was behind the set, though you could still see it. Overall, the class loved the performance! The Thorn:   Our Thorn of The Week was the cold weather. Unfortunately, it’s extremely windy and cold outside. It also started to snow on Thursday! The temperatures have dropped into the negatives and the wind has picked up quickly.  The Bud: We will get another chance to hang out with our Kindergarten Buddies on Monday. My buddy is Arielle and I look forward to reading and creating with her. ...

#HClassBlog - "Mr. Song's Moustache" - April 21, 2025

Introduction:  Hello everyone! My name is Anakin, and this week, I will be writing the blog for #HClass24. I enjoy doing many things, like playing golf, playing video games and sketching. I am more introverted so I prefer being by myself. The Rose:  We have enjoyed three, 4-day weeks in a row because of Easter and a PD Day. So, we got a nice long break from school and some short weeks in-between. It had to be the best part of this month so far. We also had our first Dance/Social on Friday. It was a lot of fun. Me and Taym trying some dance moves. The Thorn:  Unfortunately, our student teacher Mrs. Seaby has left us. She finished her placement with our class. The good news is that she is now qualified to be a teacher and she can get paid for her hard work. Maybe, one day, she could come back like Mr. Song did. She might even come back with a mustache like Mr. Song did – but probably not. Ms. Seaby on our Pizza Dough making day. The Bud:  We have been working with an ...

#HClassBlog - "I lost so much money in the stock market game" - April 7, 2025

Introduction:  Hello everyone! My name is Mason, and this week, I will be writing the blog for #HClass24. I enjoy doing many things, like playing basketball, playing the piano and drawing. I am an extrovert and love hanging out with friends and family. The Rose: This week, we started a project called “Holiday or Holinay.” Everyone in our class gets a certain day to research holidays that are associated with it. Then we decide if it’s (A Holiday) or if it’s just pure trash (A HoliNay). Each student creates an engaging presentation with ridiculous sound effects to help us make the presentation more enchanting. For example, I have May 7 which is National Barrier Awareness Day. I would call that a HoliDAY because it is a time to recognize barriers that exist for people with disabilities. May 7 is also National Carnivorous Plant Day. I would call that a HoliNAY because a plant has no idea it is a holiday. Sure, botanists and plant lovers might want to celebrate this day; but I think the...
