I hope you enjoyed your weekend! Don't forget that this week is Lenny's birthday:) Feel free to have a treat from home (our tradition is a cupcake) if you would like to celebrate during our Friday announcements.

Crazy Hair and other Exciting Activities

 Dear Students, 

I hope you enjoyed our Snowman-themed day! Tomorrow is Crazy Hair/Make-Up day. Mr. D can't wait to see what you come up with tomorrow:)

Tomorrow is the last day of the school week, so I am going to always try to come up with something  fun and/or . Tomorrow we will be listening to our first special "Podcast." I am scheduling it for first block. Try to have the Workspace Sheets printed if possible, since they go with the Podcast. During last block, we will do another Kahoo It trivia block (back by popular demand.)

Have a great evening:)

Mr. D

Hope you enjoyed Banana Gym!

 Dear Students, 

I hope that you enjoyed our Banana Gym today! As well, I'm glad to see that students were interested in our Forces and Movement lesson and our discussion on Mozart!

Don't forget that tomorrow is Snowman Backdrop Day as well as Red and Black Day. If you wish, design a big picture with a snowman to place/hang in your background (if it's OK with your parents.) If you have a Frosty decoration, that could work too.  Remember: it's the attempt to show your school spirit that is our goal!

Here's a short lesson on how to draw a snowman:

A reminder that on most days I will give two written assignments. One will be a Google Doc where you can type the answers right on the sheet. The other will be a Google Doc with photos which you are asked to print.Then you can use your pencil to write your answers directly on the paper, and then send a photo or scan to me with the completed work. Now that we have learned how to type our answers and submit them on Google Docs, it's important to keep practising doing pencil/paper work for when we return to St. Leonard's! 

*** Remember: if your printer is not working or not available, you can write out the answers on lined paper.

Keep practising your new Words of the Week (Y as a vowel making the Long I sound.) See you all tomorrow:)

Mr. D:)

PS. I'll add today's number jokes to the Blog shortly.

Happy Monday Everyone!

 Good Afternoon Students,

I hope that you had a great day. Tomorrow is Favourite TV/Movie/Comic character. Who are you going to dress as tomorrow? Mr. D can't wait to find out! Today, you were very imaginative with your Tropical Getaway ideas. I hope you enjoyed the Beach Music!

Here is our schedule for Spirit Week:

Tuesday: Favourite Character Day

Wednesday: Create a Snowman Backdrop Day/ Red and Black Day

Thursday: Crazy Hair/Makeup Day

For Science, you came up with some great ideas about Forces, Movment and Machines for our KWL brainstorm and unit launch. Start thinking about ideas where there are Forces/Movement and Machines (to control those foreces) in our world. You can start thinking aboout the ones right in and outside of your home!

Don't forget to start learning your new Words of the Week for this week.

Have a wonderful evening:)

Mr. D

Happy Birthday Monica!

 

We hope you had a greeeeeeeat birthday, Monica!

Hockey/Sports Favourite Teams Day

 Good Afternoon Grad 2s and 3s!

Tomorrow the Senators open up the hockey season with their very first game of the year. Therefore students can wear their favourite hockey or sports jerseys or gear tomorrow. If you aren't interested in sports, you could wear something related to one of your hobbies or pastimes. I can't wait to see all the different hockey/sports /hobies gear! 

Remember that tomorrow you join Mr. D during 3rd block instead of French with Madame Block. You all seemed very excited about our Kahoot Trivia game! This is what we will be doing during 3rd block. 

Don't forget that tomorrow is also Art Day. Have a few white pieces of paper and some markers/pencil crayons ready for last block. It should be a great end to the week:)

Regards,

Mr. D

Wear your Red and Black tomorrow!

 Good Evening Students, 

Remember that tomorrow is Red and Black Day (just like every Wednesday!) If you don't remember your colour den, feel free to wear either colour. I noticed that lots of you were wearing Red and Black last week; let's show off our St. Leonard school spirit again this week:)

Regards,

Mr. D
