It's time for summer!
I can't believe another year has come and gone. It's eerily quiet in the building as I write this last post of the school year, and it still hasn't really hit me that the last day has come and gone (that usually takes a few days). I would like to thank all of my students this year for all of their hard work, dedication, caring nature, and humour - you are an amazing group of kids, and it is hard to think of 'giving you up' to Mrs. Steinhoff and Mrs. Hoskins (or to another school, in one case). This was one of the best years of my teaching career, largely because of you, and I will miss you next year, as you all go on to Grade 5. However, after meeting 'next year's crop' this morning, I am looking forward to September, and to starting over with another group of eager students!
I wish you all a wonderful summer - be safe, happy, and active... and have fun!

Mark Guiboche art has been posted
The amazing artworks that the students created with the help of Mark Guiboche have been uploaded to our Artsonia page, and are now available for viewing! I think you'll agree that the students really outdid themselves this time - bravo, Room 18!

Mark Guiboche
We were lucky enough to have artist Mark Guiboche work with us this afternoon - he shared some of his own art with us, and told us about himself and where he grew up, how he got started as an artist, and where he gets some of his inspiration from. After that, the students got the chance to create their own images in the style of Mark's work, with some helpful pointers from him. There was some amazing art created today - look for it to be uploaded to our Artsonia page later this week (we'll keep you posted!)...

Our erosion field trip day!
Today we went to Red River Valley Flood Interpretive Centre and we learned about rocks and minerals, and how the great flood became. They used more 30 lb sandbags to help stop the flooding, and it almost flooded in the city. We made something to block water in groups - my group put Lego and wood in front of the sand, but it went. - Joey
The bus came this morning, and I was very excited. Cameron and me were bus partners, and Cameron wanted me to be at the window seat. We were driving for 45 minutes, and on the way back, Cameron and I were bus partners on the way back, and I got sick, and when we stopped for the train, Mr. H. asked me if I wanted to take a drink. We were making little projects with groups trying to protect the sand riverbank from getting erosion, and my group used rocks and wood. Roxanne was putting water in there, and none of the water came to the sand, only under the sand, even though we were making waves. - Gal
For most of the day, we were on a field trip, and the ride was very bumpy. We did a race to see who could pile up sandbags the fastest. The sandbags just had cotton balls in them, and then after we got to carry a real sandbag, and it was VERY heavy! - Jenna
For our field trip today, which connected to the Grade 4 Science cluster of rocks, minerals, and erosion, we went to the Red River Valley Floods Interpretive Centre, which offers both hands-on experiences where students learn about the types of soil, erosion and flooding, as well as getting to view a Flood of the Century exhibit, video, and slide show. The students worked in groups to design and build protection to shore up their own mini riverbanks from erosion, which was a lot of fun. There was also time after lunch to enjoy the beautiful weather, and play around outside. To top it off, the students were extremely polite and well-behaved... as usual - what a great day!
