Yesterday afternoon, our students went to the gym for CCS's Olympic opening ceremonies - with a special appearance from the mascots 'Snowflake' (Miss Kranabetter) and 'Ray of Light' (Mr. Klaponski). Then our students were divided into 2 groups, led by Mrs. Kozak and Mrs. Palha, students and their Grade 5/6 buddies went around 11 different classrooms to try 11 different Olympic sports. Our classroom was set up for the 'Freestyle Skiing' so students had to hop around the obstacle course (around tables and chairs). Other activities included speed skating, biathlon, curling, skeleton, figure skating and table top hockey - the students had a great time and they all felt like champions!
Today, we had a busy morning with yummy cookie decorating (thanks Gabriel!) and then to Mrs. Lemire's classroom for a Valentine craft (see pipe cleaner person) in their Valentine's envelope. We had an early snack of popcorn, recess (extra 5 mins!) then PE immediately afterwards. All of the students entered the drawing & colouring contest, initiated by today's student principals Wyatt and Kaden, and it seems like Minecraft characters are very popular right now!
In the afternoon, students watched 'Madagascar 3' with the rest of the school in the gym - it was a nice calm activity before sending off them off for an extra long weekend. Thanks to Riley for the mini Valentine cupcakes and for everyone who gave Valentines to the class. Please check your child's Valentine's envelope for my 'present!'
In the last week, I have received several emails asking about next year's (Grade 1 class) classes. Please check Mr. Borkowski's blog for his thoughts on this important topic http://catholicprincipal.wordpress.com/
