I Love To Read Live!

Today we went to the Burton Cummings Theatre for 'I Love To Read - Live'. While we were waiting for it to begin, DJ Blitz played music while Goldie, Buzz & Boomer, and Mick E. Moose pumped up the crowd. Next, Ace Burpee, Chrissy Troy, LTI, some of this other friends from Virgin Radio Winnipeg, and Rahim and Nicole from CTV Morning Live read the book 'The Circus Ship' to us. Next, Mayor Brian Bowman read 'A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to School...' to us. Finally, Fred Penner came out on stage and sang a couple of songs to us, including 'The Cat Came Back'. It was amazing@ - Mr. H's Grade 3 students

The latest from our class Instagram account - more new classroom library books!

The latest from our class Instagram account - Officer Dave and Veda

Ms. Christine’s brother, Officer Dave, stopped by our classroom today (he’s a K9 officer). He read us a book about safety for #ILoveToRead month, and talked to us about staying safe. Then, he told us about his job and introduced us to his partner, Veda. She’s super-cute and sweet, but she can chase down the bad guys if she has to, no problem! via Instagram http://ift.tt/2C6Bowq

The latest from our class Instagram account - drumming with Ms. Lisa

What a treat to have Ms. Lisa come to our Music class yesterday to talk to us about drumming. She shared about the importance of drums, how to take proper care of them, and then we got to do some drumming with her. via Instagram http://ift.tt/2Es3yar

I Love To Read... with the Winnipeg Blue Bombers!

A huge thank you to the Winnipeg Blue Bombers for selecting the Grade 3 students of BWCS as one of 10 lucky recipients of a school visit! Thomas Miles, Blue Bombers linebacker, did a fantastic job of reading to our students yesterday, as well as patiently answering all of their questions about his life as a football player (in addition to the random questions that 8- and 9-year old students will inevitably ask), as well as sharing his love of reading with us (he read 57 books last year!)! What an afternoon (check out all the photos on our Instagram account here)!

Global News stopped by and did a brief story on our Blue Bombers visit - you can see the video here (starting at the 9:06 mark).

 

The latest from our class Instagram account - learning Cree words

One of the students in @mscasselsclass found a book of English/French/Cree words on our library, so she shared it with our classes at the beginning of our learning time on story telling today. My favourite was x-ray/radiographie/sapwapahcikan! via Instagram http://ift.tt/2DUFIEZ
