As Mr. Hamer was in charge of the whole school Advent assembly, his students were placed in four separate classes to head over to the gym and return. Mr. Hamer had to be in the gym for set-up and take-down, so he is most appreciative of the four teachers for taking care of his students while he was occupied in the big school.
Our classroom Christmas Tree.
All a-sparkle!
Mrs. Hamer's new banner for the class.
A blue jay flies by the tree.
As does this athletic fella.
Indeed, good vibes only!
A merry lad in front of the tree.
His smile tells it all.
A happy camper.
He loves the tree.
As does this little one.
We do sing out a "cheer!"
Love the message on the shirt! Hehehe!
Snuggles.
More snuggles.
Even more!
It's contagious!
She does have a "heart of gold!"
Our blue jay flies around the room.
A unicorn.
A pony.
No...it's a unicorn.
Completing a Christmas wordsearch.
As a team!
Hard at play.
Great big grins.
A focused effort.
Smiles for the camera.
Best buds.
Ditto.
Have a great evening everyone! Mr. Hamer OCT
Day 62 - Tuesday, Dec. 4
A little elf visited our class today.
As did fellow grade two students from Mrs. Akkawi's class.
Mrs. Akkawi was in meetings so I covered her grade two room.
Her students visited our class for the entire block two.
We reviewed our math patterns.
Then we conducted a short math quiz.
That was followed up with a lesson on the history of the Christmas song, Silent Night.
With colouring activities to follow.
Some of the girls.
More of the girls.
Still more.
Mr. Hamer ran choir with Mrs. Blackmore in her classroom.
Mme Souliere helps out.
Mr. Papineau joined us.
We learned two new songs today, Il est Ne le Divine Enfant and Do You Hear What I Hear?
A few pics from last week, again.
These are from the book fair.
The long table with gadgets was very popular.
With a long line-up of children.
Some of our pattern pages.
Some are growing (ascending) patterns and others are shrinking (descending) ones.
A fun Christmas crossword.
We also learned about synonyms today. Lots of fun!
Have a great evening everyone! Mr. Hamer OCT
On Wednesday morning we conducted some organizing.
We too all of our work from our binder in our desk...
...and we placed the lessons...
...into their respective subject folders.
The challenge for the children...
...was to determine which piece of work...
...went into which folder.
The elf found himself in the tree.
This elf is also dressed in red.
Hey...they're guitar players!
Wednesday's gym class found us outdoors.
The hill in the corner of the yard was a hit.
The snow was falling.
The children were also falling..
...down the slide.
Too much fun!
A snowy girl!
A snowy boy!
Into the fortress!
He's wearing a nice smile.
King of the castle.
Another king.
Say cheese!
From above.
Two queens!
Boulder shoulder.
A grey day filled with a ton of fun.
Another elf on a shelf in the mountain.
Behind the church.
Outdoor fun.
Minnie Mouse.
There she is!
A great ship...
On a great kid!
Buddies.
A terrific trio!
A little angel is becoming coloured.
Have a great evening all!

Day 64 - Thursday, Dec. 6
Indeed, December 6th is the Feast of St. Nicholas. When he was a young boy, both of his parents died. They were wealthy and Nicholas inherited the wealth. Rather than spend on himself, he sought out the poor and down-trodden and shared his wealth with them. This compassionate man is known as the Patron Saint of Children.
Speaking of children...
...we do have fun in class.
Even though we work very hard.
On Thursday, it was time to enjoy gym in the great outdoors.
That meant sliding...
...with the crazy carpets.
They are excited...
...and can't wait to get started.
So, over to the hill across the street we headed.
Going down is fun.
It's a breeze!
Hi mom!
Coming back up is a little harder.
But we do get our exercise.
Thursday was a fine day.
It wasn't too cold outside.
Going down in partner teams.
"This is so much fun!"
Cool pose.
Big grins.
Over to the other hill.
Right in front of her own home!
The church makes a great backdrop.
Elf comes along too.
An overall view.
Too much fun.
A bit of nature in the city.
Dressed warmly.
Another elf.
They love sliding too.
Love the crazy carpets.
Say cheese!
"Cheese!"
A terrific trio.
Waiting for a push!
Following sliding...
...we visited the library...
...in the learning commons.
Love the elf hat.
Girl Power for sure!
Reading is fun!
Cool looking book.
Her elf is a good reader.
A big grin.
Whoa...cool looking chapter book.
Friends gather round.
They even share the same book.
A happy team.
On the tall chairs.
On the mats.
Elf power!
Back in class we enjoy some down time.
Time to say adios! Check in later over the weekend for pics from Friday's day in school!
All the best, Mr. Hamer OCT
Day 65 - Friday, Dec. 7
Mr. Tim, our head custodian played the conductor on the Polar Express.
He's well equipped for the occasion.
Our kinders on on the train right now.
The Polar Express is a long train!
Some adults are let on board.
They are excited.
Mme Latou is in on the action as well.
What are they carrying?
Mr. conductor knows.
So does Mr. Best.
It's their round trip ticket on the Polar Express.
Thank you to those who sent in donations of non-perishable food this past week.
This coming week we are asking for warm clothing for the needy...hats, scarves, mitts, gloves and socks. Thank you in advance!
This little elf got a cool looking surprise in his lunchbag on Friday.
Love it!
More bell practise.
With groups assigned to specific colours.
Happy campers.
Each colour plays a different note.
We have three students assigned to each bell.
Lots of excitement.
Lots of fun.
We can't wait to put on our show!
The Christmas concert and play will be this coming Thursday.
It begins at 11:00 AM so get to school early moms and dads!
On Friday afternoon we had a special visitor.
This little girl in Mrs. Akkawi's class plays the cello.
Her mom plays violin.
They put on a great workshop for out two classes.
She's a pro already!
Lots of fun!
Concentration.
An attentive audience.
Thanks so much to these two wonderful ladies for giving us a great presentation!
Have a wonderful week next week everyone! Mr. Hamer OCT
