#HClassBlog - "We'll miss you Mr. Bliss." - October 16, 2024

Introduction:

#HClass24 is back with another blog written by me, Ava. I Hope you enjoy it. I love gymnastics, dancing and cheer. I am also a big fan of the performing arts and, of course, I love writing.


The Rose:

This week we went on an incredible field trip to the movie theater to see The Wild Robot. Nothing is better than watching a movie in the theater eating popcorn and soda with all your friends. The movie was good, but we agreed that it wasn't as good as the book we read in class.

The Thorn:

Sadly, our teacher candidate from Western, Mr. Bliss, left us on Friday. He was an awesome teacher who always taught great lessons and will definitely be missed in the future. Hopefully, he can return as a guest educator when Mr. Hodgkinson is away.

The Bud:

Next week for the first time this year we will have buddies!  I love seeing the little kids run up to the door like it’s the best day ever.

Coding Connections:

This week we started coding our Amazing World of Gumball adventures with the Scratch program. It was really challenging sometimes however we got through it and all of them look great. It involves the process of writing instructions for a computer to follow using a specific programming language. Here is my example.

Math Mentions:

For the past couple weeks, Mr. Bliss has been teaching us about exponents. We have learned to use them in real life situations, for example, we learned about exponential growth with compound interest, so that we can make our money work for us with investments over time. We had a test on Friday with all of this information.

I think I did pretty well.

Geography Gab:
We are starting to learn about relative location. The assignment Mr. Bliss gave us took a long time to finish, but it was easy and fun.
Gym:
We have started basketball in gym class and everyone enjoys playing Bump and warm-up games. We are learning how to shoot properly and how to make a lay-up.

Next Week ………Brielle will be writing the 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...
