Star light, star bright

On Friday, French Immersion students in my afternoon class were assigned a project on a constellation.  Everyone has chosen their constellation and has the written guidelines for what the project requires.  Don't forget to use the graphic organizer to help you stay on topic!  Can't wait to see your presentations (your choice of a media presentation such as Notebook, Glogster, Pic Collage or a bristol board).  You can even get more creative if you like, diorama, pre-filmed presentation, homemade animation, etc.  This is YOUR project, just make sure that you have all the required info :)  Don't forget to learn lots and have fun!

Bedtime Stories

What could be better than reading a bedtime story to your child you ask?  Having your child read you the bedtime story instead.  Perhaps "reading" is not quite the right term since Autumn can't actually read yet, however, she told me the whole story and then proceeded to ask me comprehension questions.  "What did you discover Mommy?", she asked.  After hearing my response, she told me I was wrong although my answer was still a good one.  I think I may have created a reading monster ;)  Awesome!

Legend has it..

Today we learned all about legends, what they are, how they started and why they are so important. We will be reading more examples of legends in the next little while and you will even have the chance to write your very own legend (more details to follow!).  Can't wait to read them!

When you roll up the rim and you actually win!

So this year's Roll up the Rim campaign seems to have brought twice the grief.  I roll once, I lose.  I roll twice, I lose again.  Talk about depressing!  However, nothing can match the excitement of rolling that second rim to actually win!  Sure, it may just be a free coffee, but it still feels exhilarating and just plain awesome!
