#HClass24 - “HodgtolaRocknRolla” - March 31, 2025

 “HodgtolaRocknRolla” - said by Brielle, Gurleen, and Thanya during lunch when they heard it was Mr. Hodgkinson's nickname.


Introduction: 

Hello everyone! My name is Thanya, and this week I will be writing the blog for #HClass24. I enjoy doing many things including baking, writing, reading as well as playing volleyball. Here’s a picture of one of my favourite books. (Ghost by Raina Telgemeier)

The Rose: 

One of the highlights of this week was starting a new read-aloud with our teacher candidate, Ms. Seaby! The book is Touching Spirit Bear by  Ben Mikaelsen. We’ve been sketching and writing about the book and it’s been an exciting process. We just handed in our work, and we are looking forward to continuing the read-aloud while sketching key details regarding the book. 

The Thorn: 

We had a 5 minute break time since it was good weather, but unfortunately a couple students did not come back on time. Due to this we won’t get the opportunity to go outside that often anymore. We plan to earn back this privilege. 

The Bud: 

I’m thrilled for next week since we will be starting a brand new activity called Holiday or HoliNay. This is going to be an enjoyable project that we are excited to get started on! We each get a day to research the holidays that are associated with it. We decide if they are worthwhile (A Holiday) or if they are just plain dumb (A HoliNAY). We then create an engaging presentation, with sound effects, to share our research.

Math Mentions: 

This week in math, we wrapped up our unit on ratios with a flashback on Friday. Our new topic in math is stocks! We will be exploring the importance of the stock market and discovering some fascinating  facts along the way! 

Gym Glimpse:

Gym class was super fun this week! On Thursday, we enjoyed Free

Gym Friday, adding extra fun to the week! We also kicked off a handball unit, competing against our classmates in exciting matches. We also had a great time playing dodgeball and octopus just for fun! It was awesome to see everybody so engaged and enjoying themselves.

Next Week: Mason  will be writing the blog next week.

#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...
