February Award Winners

Wow, I can't believe that February has come to an end already.  Time certainly flies.

This month I would like to recognize 3 amazing boys.

Our Principal's Award Winners this month were Xyrel and Red. 


 
Red received his award for the excellent work he has done to learn double digit addition and subtraction.  This smart guy has been working hard at home and has come to class able to handle these types of problems, no sweat.  He has also been able to pick up the alternative methods that we have been learning in class.  
 
Xyrel received his award for the excellent work that he has done on our Science Unit on the Elements of Nature.  This includes the water cycle and how we can protect the environment.   He has been participating a lot during class discussions, reading books that tie to the subject, and sharing his great questions with us.  
 
 
Great work you guys.
 
 
I would also like to recognize Parker for being awarded for the Student of the Month Award. He received this award for being such a good friend to others.

January's Principal's Award Winners

This month has been one to celebrate excellence. 

I would like to congratulate Parker and Preston.  They were both awarded with a Principal's Award. 



Parker was given the award for doing an excellent job on his writing piece "Family Vacation" where he wrote about his favourite family tradition, traveling. 

Preston won his award for doing an excellent job on his Sunset Artwork.  We were experimenting with mixing colours.  Preston was able to create a very realistic piece, not only by listening well to instructions but by doing an excellent job combining his colours. 


 
Here are some other lovely examples of our sunset artwork.





 
This month we also met our goal for our jewels.  In our room we use small glass jewels to thank people who are following classroom procedures or who do something special (meeting their personal goals, being extra kind to someone else, etc.). 
 
We agreed a few months ago that once we had filled the jar three times we would have a pizza party to celebrate.   Last week we accomplished our goal, filling the jar for the third time. 
 
Our class will be celebrating on Valentine's Day during lunch.  I will be sending home notes about this next week. 
 
Enjoy the cold weather everyone.  :)
