Roots of Empathy

We had a Birthday/Farewell party for C'nedra, our Roots of Empathy baby, today.  When the program started in the Fall, C'nedra was just a tiny baby and today she came walking through the door!  She surprised us so much by how quickly she developed.  Mrs. Hudek, the facilitator of the program, helped us read C'nedra's body language and how she might be feeling.  Learning those skills has helped us be more empathetic towards others.  Congratulations to everyone for completing the program!  It was an awesome experience!  We made a memory book and a wishing tree for C'nedra to take home.  Thank you to Mrs. Hudek for the beautiful flowers and being recognized for trying our best.  It is an experience we won't forget...

MUSEUM SLEEPOVER

The Museum Sleepover was awesome!!!  We had a very busy schedule... It started off with exploring the Science Gallery and then an amazing tour of the museum with our very own tour guide. After, the mad scientist had a performance and then we set up our sleeping quarters in the Science Gallery. We continued the evening with a planetarium show.  It was very interesting.  After the show we went to enjoy a pizza and juice bedtime snack.  There was so much pizza that no one left hungry and it was delicious!  The evening did not end there.  We got to go on a flashlight tour of the museum.  All the lights were off.  We had so much fun scaring our friends and making it a spooky time.  The flashlight tour ended at 12:00 and we were starting to get tired.  The teachers gave us an option of going to sleep or watching, "The Night at the Museum 1" movie.  Of course, most of us decided to check out the movie.  Everyone had so much fun that this event will not be forgotten for years to come...Thank you to all the parents who let us go on this Grade 5 adventure!

We sat in a Teepee and talked about it and got to ask questions.

Volunteer Appreciation Tea

Thank you to all the volunteer parents and grandparents that came out this year to help us out!  We were invited to play a song for all the guests today.  We think they enjoyed our performance...

 

 

Career Day at our School

Career Day was a huge success at our school on May 31st.  We had 22 presenters come into our school to talk about their chosen careers.  An N.H.L. official, who just finished his season, spoke to us at the assembly to kick off the day.  His name is Ryan Galloway and he has officiated in every arena in the N.H.L..  He told us that the Jets fans are the best in the N.H.L..  Also, Trevor Kidd was one of our presenters.  Trevor played in the N.H.L. as a goalie.  He had an excellent presentation and message for all of us.  Some other presenters were:  Firefighters, veterinarian, R.C.M.P. officer, medical doctor, chiropractor, fisheries biologist, entomologist, photographer, interior designer, engineer, graphic designer, chef who works at M.T.S. center, airplane mechanic, horse trainer, Forestry, Hydro worker, Cornel crème business owner and a woodworker.  It was a great day and we were inspired to work hard and accomplish our dreams.
