Tour of the School Bulletin Boards

It was interesting walking around our school and reading what is posted on the different bulletin boards for "I Love to Read Month".

I LOVE TO READ MONTH

THANK YOU TO ALL THE GUEST READERS THAT HAVE VISITED OUR CLASSROOM SO FAR!

Mr. Stevenson, Mr. Feilberg,  Mrs. Hixt, Mrs. Haylako and Mrs. Tait came to read us.  It was interesting to hear what reading looks like for them.  Mr. Feilberg loves to read, but not every genre.  He enjoys non-fiction or factual books that he can learn from.  Mr. Stevenson likes books that have to deal with numbers, riddles and jokes and books that teach us a lesson, like it's ok to make mistakes.  Mrs. Hixt read two home made books that she made for her kids when they were young.  It was neat to see.  Mrs. Halayko gave us something to think about and Mrs. Tait entertained us with a book about an old woman.

Mr. Stevenson reading to the class.  We enjoyed his expression and enthusiasm.

Mr. Feilberg read us an interesting true railway story and he tried to scare us with a ghost story, but it wasn't scary at all.

Mrs. Halayko read us a book about "Sticky Fingers" and about always being honest and never to take something that doesn't belong to us.  We enjoyed listening to her teach us a lesson on being true to yourself.

Mrs. Tait came to read to us a story about a old woman who named all her things, like her bed because she knew they would never leave her.  We liked how she read with expression.

Festival du Voyageur Week

Our Festival Pancake Breakfast will take place on Wednesday, February 20th.  Each student will get one pancake and a juice box to celebrate Festival du Voyageur week.  We will be learning about the Festival and what a voyageur is during the week.  We might even have a special guest visit our classroom.:)

The Festival du Voyageur is an annual 10-day winter festival that takes place in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. The event is held during each February in Winnipeg's French Quarter, Saint-Boniface, and is Western Canada's largest winter festival. It celebrates Canada's fur-trading past and unique French heritage and culture through entertainment, arts and crafts, music, exhibits, and displays.
