THE CITIZEN, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 27, 2012.Smart board installed at Hullett Central Continued from page 20 very good job and satisfy all my readers. My name is Jenna McDonald. I just recently turned 13. My job is writing for other newspaper writers who are absent. My favourite hobby is hunting. I have two younger brothers. Greg is in Grade 6 and Nick is in Grade 2. I also have two amazing parents, my dad’s name is Mike and he is a firefighter and works at Howson Mills. My mom on the other hand works at Sparling’s Propane. My grandma Brenda McDonald is amazing at everything she does (she also has nine grandchildren to help). I am not finished yet. I still have my “Papa Shaw”. Words can’t explain how special he is to me. From newborn to now he has been there every step of the way watching out for me. Now you know about me and my family, I think you will be looking forward to reading some of my columns in the paper. By Ben Stewart Last week at Hullett Central Public School we had some very intriguing news. In the Grade 2/3 class Mrs. Gerber reported that they had installed their Smart board and the students were learning about what schema means. Not only do these students have homework, but now so do their parents as the students must write to their parents in their journals and over the weekend the parents were to write back to them. In math the students are slightly nervous, because Mrs. Gerber had mentioned the word “test”. The Grade 2/3 class was very excited to show off what they had been working on at the open house. Mrs. Barnett says that over 100 Grade 5-8 students have been learning how to play instruments. Most have little experience but they are very keen to learn. Soon the girl’s choir will start for girls in Grades 4-8 who love to sing. On Oct. 5 the biggest fundraiser will kick off with magazine sales. This fundraiser will run for two weeks. The money that is raised will be used to purchase new technology, new textbooks and it will also fund for busing for school trips and teams.By Morgan HowsonLast week at Hullett CentralPublic School was the third week ofschool for everyone but theKindergarten students. It was onlythe second week of school for theKindergarten students so they’renow starting to get settled in andlearning their new routines ofschool. In Mrs. Thorpe-Hearn’s class they have been making connections and making new friends. Their philosophy is that they share everything in their classroom. To do this they use sand timers to make sure everyone has a turn. Also in Mrs. Thorpe-Hearn’s class they have been discussing seasons. At the beginning of last week they talked about summer but later in the week they talked about fall. In math they have been sorting and graphing. In the Grade 1 class they have had an exciting start to the school year as they welcomed two new friends. On Thursday, Sept. 6 the Grade 1 students welcomed Christie for a day courtesy to Mrs. Thomas. You may be wondering who Christie is? Well Christie is a monarch butterfly that created some excitement in the Grade 1 class to start the school year off. Christie the butterfly helped the students understand the four-stage procedure. Grade 1 students watchedChristie form into a butterfly from achrysalis then in the afternoon, aftermost of them had her on their finger,they let her begin her journey toMexico. A week later Mrs. Thomas surprised them with another caterpillar and they are stillwaiting for the birth of Christiejunior.Last week at Hullett we had our annual book fair which was a success. There were cool posters, pencils, erasers and a lot of books thanks to Mrs. deBoer and Mrs. Hunking. Any Hullett students wanting to be yearbook editors need to submit their letter of application to Mrs. deBoer or Mrs. Armstrong. For more information ask Mrs. Armstrong or Mrs. deBoer. Until next week have a great week and bye! By Colton Rodger This week at Hullett Central Public School some students and teachers, including me, are excited to tell you all about what happened at Hullett last week. Mrs. Gilroy told us that the Grade 5/6 class is enjoying the new portable, in particular the air conditioning but they don’t like the running inside when it is raining. The students are saying that they are learning about living things in science. They are liking the subject so far. Most of the students in Mrs. Gilroy’s class arealso learning about responsibility asthey take on the role of lunchmonitoring.The Grade 7/8 class and the Grade7 class had the ultimate game offlags last week. Despite the heroicefforts of Gage Wilfong and Mr.Coups, who were practicallyunstoppable, the Grade 7/8 class wasvictorious. The Grade 7/8 class was also reviewing divisibility rules, prime and composite numbers and factors. In art they mixed primary colours on a colour wheel, along with a monochromatic colour scheme activity. In language they were starting to learn about graphic text and writing. I can’t wait to write you next week. Brussels 519-887-9114 Drop by and see our selection of books at...
