#HClassBlog - I feel so snickerdoodle." June 4, 2024

Quote: “I feel so snickerdoodle.” Said by Krishi made up on the spot.


Introduction: 

Hey everyone  and welcome to this week's blog. My name is A.R. and I like to play soccer. I also enjoy competing on  FIFA, a  soccer video game. 

Rose: 

The rose for last week happened during our time in  the maker space. The maker space is part of our library where we have access to hands-on tools we can use to create things. Last week, we worked on  duct tape wallets.

Some of the duct tape wallets we have made.

We decided to make it a challenge as part of our Form and Function Unit in Science.  Each team (we have 6 teams in the classroom) put their best wallet into a competition to be judged by the Grade 6 teachers.  and the The best wallet belonged to  Hana and gave her team, The MVP’s, 60 points.  The judges did not know who made which wallet, so it was fair.


Thorn:

The thorn of this week was, sadly, our cancellation of  the  Genius Hour gallery we had planned. We all worked hard on our Genius Hour projects but several students lost their work when our email addresses were changed and the projects they had completed on a program called Canva were deleted. Mr. Hodgkinson spent two weeks trying to recover the assignments – and he is still trying. Eventually, as a class, we decided that we should cancel for this year and just share our projects with our parents on our own. The project kept getting postponed until sadly we canceled it and the only people who are gonna see it live is our class. So there will be no “Gallery Walk”.

Bud: 

Next week we will be finishing off Netflix a Book project with plenty of work time and we will be all done with our beautiful mosaic art which people are dying to see.

Here's an example of our Digital Mosaics from Callen.

Math Mentions: In math lately we have been doing probability and learning about how useful it is in life which, surprisingly, it is.   Next week, we will use the Scratch program to code a coin flipper, dice roller or make a slot machine.

Student Appreciation: 

This week the student we appreciate is Brandon. Brandon is so smart and he’s always making people laugh and the amount of inside jokes people have with him is crazy he's just so cool and likable. 



In the following week,  Seyfuddin will be writing our class blog.

#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...
