Teaching in Mrs. Hourigan's Class

Sideline European Handball.

Tangrams-- the students really enjoyed this activity.

Most of the students working away.

Hi level of activity in ther gym.

I taught in Mrs. Hourigan's class today so she could coach the GES Girls' Volleyball Team.  For PE we included Mrs. Fitchell's Grade 6 students-- we had an excellent game of sideline European Handball.

It has been a busy day, as when I am not in class teaching I am supervising. 

Today is the last day of the Receipt Race.....I wonder if Mr. Sullivan's class will make a comeback?

Have a great weekend everyone!

Until next week.

It has been a busy day with a morning meeting, teaching Mrs. Murray's Math group, as well as supervising at recess and lunch.  I really enjoyed getting into the classrooms to see what was happening.  If you check the other staff blogs there will be other examples of some of things that go on at GES.

With December being upon us the excitement of the upcoming holiday season starts to creep in at school.  There are a lot of exciting things going on and I will try to continue to share these via my blog.

Please take some to time to explore our other GES Blogs.

Until later.

Ms. Taylor's class was working on writing when I stopped by today.  The students were really engaged in the activity and were really enjoying the activity.  Great job!

The Primary Choir had a practice in the gym after recess today.  They sounded great.  I am looking forward to Primary Christmas Concert Wednesday, December 8th.  For parents unable to attend on the 8th, you are welcome to attend the dress rehearsal on Tuesday, Dec. 7th @ 9:30 am.

Until later.

Super Artwork

Mrs. Klan's students proudly showed me their drawings today.  Bravo!

Recess Fun

The slight snow flurries this morning gave the children hope of sledding, but unfortunately we only had a dusting this morning.  The students anxiously await a snowfall that will transform our back hill into a Whisler-like recreational facility.

Just a reminder that we have early dismissal today and tomorrow and Parent/Teacher Interviews after school on these days.
