#HClass22 Blog - "Dang, Mr.H was a player back in the day" October 18, 2022


 Classroom Quote of the week: ”Dang, Mr.H was a player back in the day’’, said by Muhab (A joke made because Mr. H. talked about his girlfriends in highschool. (NOTE: He said he meant "girl" "friends").

Introduction ~

Hi Besties! I’m Mariam and this week I will be writing our fourth blog! My favourite sport is volleyball and I love expanding my French skills. My favorite show is Cobra Kai, I’m an excellent mathematician and I play the flute.

The Rose ~

This week, I think we had a couple of moments that could be considered the rose. First, we found out four of our astounding athletes made the competitive volleyball team. Also, two of our students took off to Cross Country Regionals. We were ecstatic when we heard one of our boys, Isaiah, got 2nd place overall and will be continuing to Valley Finals. Lastly, we got to top off this week with an enjoyable park visit.

The Thorn ~

I think the thorn this week was that some of the students who tried out for the volleyball team had to face the disappointment from being cut. Mr. Hodgkinson and Ms. Pierce, the coaches, told us we should be proud of ourselves (and we are) and that it is a "life lesson" (it is). But, rejection still stings.

The Bud ~

This week, the Bud is anticipating Week Two in our Football Pool challenge. We are competing against a Grade 7/8 class from Northridge Public School. We met them virtually last week after a Mystery Meet. Their teacher is Mr. deGryp who used to teach at our school and is friends with Mr. H. We are comparing our average results, class vs class, in the weekly football pool. Luckily, (or maybe I should say cleverly) we succeeded in winning the starter round by carefully examining the statistics. It’s up to Week 2 or Week 3 to determine which class wins the case of pop.
My picks for Week 6

Mathematical Mentions ~

This week in math we started talking about Greatest Common Factors (GCF). The tough part is being able to distinguish between (GCF) and Lowest Common Multiple (LCM) and when to use each to problem solve problems from real life situations.  Thankfully, we got a lesson on it before and notes for our math journal to keep our brains fresh in time for the next Flashback Friday.

Literacy Leanings ~

This week, we got to visit the library and pick out a new set of books to hold onto for the week. We decided to go with something a little higher than our grade level to keep us challenged and learning. We got to work on a collaborative slideshow with two other classes and pick a writing option to share our opinion or research about the book Thirst. These two other classes were located in Waterloo, Ontario and Quesnel, British Columbia. You can find the amazing work completed here and my example is below.

We also started a Mystery Meet with a class from New York State. We were trying to find their city when we ran out of time. We are now asking a question a day on a virtual bulletin board program called "Padlet" to try and locate them, as they try to locate us.

Geography ~

We continued our geography studies! To start, we used the information we learned about cardinal directions to help us launch the lesson on Relative Location. For this activity, we will be describing where we live (without giving specific details). Instead, we are using familiar landmarks so that a visitor could identify our "relative location" in London, Ontario. My example is below. We also used Google Draw to design a home. 
We're also getting more comfortable with Google Maps through our Mystery Meets and as we determine relative location.

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

Image
  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

Image
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...
