Please be sure to visit Google Classroom to follow the instructions on how to create your own website and blog as part of our classroom website.

Weebly student accounts allow them to share and have their work read by others without sharing their personal information and identity.  Students are reminded to practice good digital citizenship and be respectful and responsible in their written posts/blogs, and in all communications with others (e.g., comments).  
​
Our class is going to be participating in blogging activities with other Grade 6 classes around the globe over the coming weeks and months.  Two of these activities that we will be starting within the next few days are: the 2015 Global Read Aloud: Fish in a Tree, and The Not Perfect Hat Club.

Stay tuned for more information about these activities!

Happy blogging!

A big thank you to Mrs. Fohring for organizing three new and exciting scavenger hunts! There were three groups - the pirates, farmers, and cavemen. Each group had to solve each clue, then locate a book with the name of the clue in the title in order to find the next clue. 
The farmer group finished finding all of their clues first this time.
Which group will complete the scavenger hunt first, next time around?

Yesterday, the final ballots were counted and the Federal Election is officially over. This year, Canada voted for change.  Canada's new Prime Minister is Justin Trudeau of the Liberals. The Canadian Liberal Party won the election with a majority government claiming a surprising 184 seats. The Official Opposition will be the Conservative party with 99 elected seats.  The New Democratic Party saw a decrease in the number of seats, ending the evening with only 44 elected seats in the House of Commons.

Across Canada, the nearly 900,000 students who cast their vote in Student Vote 1015 were relatively consistent with the results in the official election, with the Liberals winning even more seats - 223!

​​
Students: Don't forget to complete your electrical safety checklist you were given to use around your house and hand it in at school.  Students who complete the checklist and hand it in will be eligible for a prize provided from KW Hydro!

Last month, our class was busy creating a set of imaginary puppets that we mailed to the English School in Helsinki, Finland. We were paired up through an international art exchange program called, "Dear You" that is based in Finland.

This month, the students created their second finished piece of art that we will send to our partner class in Finland, which was an imaginary "pop-up" place.  

​Check out the wonderful creativity that POPS out at you from the students in A3!
