The kids tried out beat boxing in music class last Friday. Mrs. Russell, our very creative music teacher, sent me the finished results. They are pretty cool videos. Check them out below!

Writing Around the Room
The kids love writing...especially when they get to choose their own comfy spots. I am completely OK with this-it gets them all to write longer!

The Sea Dogs Came to Visit
Hi all!
I hope everyone is relaxed and refreshed after a very well deserved March break. The kiddos were ready to get right down to business yesterday! It was so great seeing them all again.
Before our March break the Sea Dogs came to visit our class. We had two players come during our literacy block and read to our students. The kids love being read to. Normally they have so many questions about the book but instead they had so many questions about the Sea Dogs! We had a brief question and answer session with the two hockey players before it was time for them to be off. The hockey kiddos sure had a lot of questions about what they need to do to be a Sea Dog! Maybe there are some professional hockey players in the class! I'll go watch them when they go pro-as long as they aren't a Montreal Canadian! :)

100 Day
Friday was 100 Day and unfortunately I "wasn't there". I stayed home, watched T.V. and ate bonbons all day instead of teach the class (this I what I told the kiddos). Ms. Lulu Inabelle was our 100 year old guest teacher that day. And from the looks of the pictures the kiddos weren't there either...they sent in their great grandparents to school instead!
Our hallway looked like the geriatric section of the hospital. We had quite a few seniors with canes, one with a really bad hump on their back, a few old folks with mustaches and one skeleton. The skeleton told us he didn't quite make it to his 100th birthday but wanted to celebrate with us all the same.
In the morning we wrote about what it would be like for students in 100 years, read 100 day books, started a challenge to read 100 books before March break and collected 100 words. During Math we did four stations. For You and Your World we talked about the changes that happen to someone as they turn from a child into an adult and then into a senior (newsflash-all the kids think they will have lots of nose hair and lose their teeth when they are seniors). We then made pictures of ourselves at 100 for Art class. Our brain breaks were centered around 100 day. I gave the kids 100 seconds to do as many jumps, stand-sits, etc as they could!
It was a fantastic day!

| I told the kiddos t give me their best "Senior" face! What goofballs! |
 |
| "Everyone pretend you are happy to see the grandkids!" |
 |
| I told everyone to give me their best "angry grandparent" look. I must say I've seen all of these looks from my own grandma who really is named Lulu Inabelle! |

Music Class Song
The kiddos came back from Music class today very excited. They got to beat on drums and learn a beautiful song that originated from a Native American tribe. They told me that they wanted to sing this song for me. They almost had me in tears (quite a feat) when they told me the meaning behind the song. Ask your kiddo tonight what it means!

Colour Mixing
This week in Art class students were given the opportunity to mix red, blue and white to make new colours and shades. The kids really enjoyed this and we will definitely be experimenting with colour mixing again!
