Today was fun learning all about the water cycle.
We watched a cute little video which explained the steps in the cycle.
The video lasted about five minutes.
We reviewed the terminology and repeated the "big" words.
Here is one stage that is a more recently added one to the water cycle.
We read about each stage in the water cycle.
We learned the purpose for each stage.
The children enjoyed the friendly little pilot.
Too cute!
An overview.
Here is our new banner in the class to help us kick off the new year.
A short review of some of our more recent class books.
Some were done in class.
Some were religious in nature.
Some were compiled from our homework files.
Some were created after a visitor came to speak at the school.
I'll be sure to add the pupils in some pics tomorrow as well.
Have a great week eighteen everyone! Mr. Hamer OCT
Day 82 - Tuesday, Jan. 15
Today Mr. Hamer conferenced with many pupils in the class.
The students were reading special diagnostic stories.
They really enjoy reading to their teacher.
Others work on building structures.
Looks cool!
Love the cross.
We started working in our Reconciliation booklet.
Mr. Hamer took all of Mrs. Akkawi's students and combined them with his class for the lesson.
We discussed what Reconciliation means.
We discussed what a sacrament is.
We talked about baptism.
The children then worked on the first page of their booklet.
Some of the information from the first page can only be found at home.
That's why Mr. Hamer made a photocopy of the page for the children to take home to complete.
They are to bring that page back to school by Thursday when the two classes meet again.
Lovely effort.
The students will then copy the information into their booklet.
Mr. Hamer doesn't want the children taking their booklets home as they often get damaged during the daily transport.
When we complete the Reconciliation lessons, the booklets will head home.
Beautiful work!
The boys and girls took pride in their efforts.
Mr. Hamer is proud of them too!
He will share more pictures tomorrow.
Have a wonderful evening everyone! Mr. Hamer OCT

Day 83 - Wednesday, Jan. 16
Mr. Hamer is out this evening, so only time to put up a few pics.
While we did have gym indoors, we also got outside for some winter fun.
The action took place on the big hills.
It's a real thrill for the boys and girls.
They normally don't get out on the junior yard.
As they must stay in the primary yard during recess time.
No problem during class time, though.
The children are rewarded for their hard work in class.
With some bonus time outdoors.
The shadows may be long.
But the sun is high enough.
For some sliding.
And some cool activities.
The junior yard is big.
A look at the portapack which houses five classrooms.
A look at the big school.
One goes up while one comes down!
Loads of fun.
Their smiles tell it all!
Have a great evening all! Mr. Hamer OCT
Day 84 - Thursday, Jan. 17
Sharing some more of our Reconciliation activity.
This is me.
Lots of great images.
Showing the students involved in their favourite activities.
Or showing students in their home or classroom.
Looking good!
Lots of colour.
Wonderful.
"I'm proud of my effort."
You certainly should be.
"I like fishing."
Looks like you do.
Hockey is fun.
It sure is.
"I like to work at my desk."
Looks like you are working hard.
"I love my family."
You sure do!
Don't forget to fill out this page and return it to class.
A cool shirt.
Mr. Hamer loves guitars!
Cool builders.
Keen workers.
Devoted attention.
Working with friends.
Working with group mates.
School is fun!
Lots of smiles.
Friendship.
It's fun being silly sometimes!
A hard worker!
Have a great evening all! Mr. Hamer OCT
Day 85 - Friday, Jan. 18
We wrap up the week with many students absent once again. Our class went sliding on the hill over at the park. The junior grades sometimes go snowshoeing with these snowshoes.
The ukelele club is underway.
Lots of junior girls love to come out.
The school owns a number of ukeleles.
Some teachers appear for the lesson as well.
Mrs. Blackmore is teaching them the ropes!
Smile teachers.
Yup, they are learning how to play a Bob Marley song.
Mrs. Akawwi's pupils came over this week.
We gather the two classes for Religion lessons.
As we prepare ourselves for the sacrament of Reconciliation.
Our student enjoy sharing their learning spaces with our visitors from across the hall.
Lots of smiles from the girls.
And...the boys!
A keen worker.
Ditto.
Having fun.
Concentrating on the work at hand.
Friendship.
Colourful lessons.
With colourful students!
See everyone next week!
