Juggling

Mrs. Hourigan's class had their first juggling lesson in PE today.  I have included a few pictures of this activity.

Ukes

The Grade four class was having their first ukelele lesson when I stopped by the music room this afternoon.

Reading & Math Patterns

I was in Ms. Moul's Grade One class where they read aloud. They then read to buddies including me. They were very proud of their ability to read.

I also stopped in on Mrs. Sali's Grade Three Class and they were working on Math patterns. The students did a great job sharing their knowledge to Mrs. Sali.

Until Later.

Busy Day Tuesday

I apologize for not getting to my blog yesterday-- it was a very busy day with an assembly, classroom visits, meetings with parents, a meeting with district staff, meetings with our staff and a Community School Meeting.....and yes a Principals' Meeting this morning.

I look forward to getting into various classes today, but I also have some Bill 33 Meetings with some of our teachers today.

Enjoy the sunshine.

Until later.

Bulletin Boards

As I walked along the primary hallway I was amazed at all of the interesting bulletin board displays. I have included pictures of them here.

Enjoy the beautiful afternoon & evening.

Until tomorrow,

Sad News

It is with sadness that I pass on the news that Glen Hudson, GES Site Maintenance worker for many years, passed away today. He had been fighting for his life after a motorcycle accident last week.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to his family, friends and co-workers.

I will update the GES family about funeral arrangements when this information comes to me.

Show & Tell and "Read All About Me"

I stopped by Mr. Sullivan's class today and they were working on "Read All About Me" posters, some of which he was posting on the hallway bulletin board. If you child is in Division 7 you may want to check it out.

I also stopped by Ms. Taylor's class for Show & Tell-- Vivian was showing the students her hamster. She was preety exciting about showing everyone her pet.

It has been great getting into classes to see our students in action.

Until later.

Lunch time Fun

The primary students have been enjoying the sand pit and they continue to enjoy hill soccer. I played for a while today-- the students love it!

I had a chance to cover Mrs. Fitchell's Grade 5/6 class and Mrs. Hourigan's Grade 4 class today. I enjoy getting a chance to work in the classroom with our students.

The week seems to be flying by..... I can't believe that tomorrow is Friday.

Hopefully all of our band students picked up their instruments today-- Prussin Music had their representatives at GES today.

I hope thay you have a great evening.

Until tomorrow.
