Kindergarten
S , February has been an exciting
month in Kindergarten. We worked
hard to learn poems and songs for the
,.Valentine's Day Assembly. We made
heart -shaped hats to wear on our
heads: Everybody seemed to enjoy
the assembly.
Also this month, we have learned
how to use the computers with the
-help of two grade eight students, Dan:
ny Thiel and Derick McGee. Every
morning they came down and helped
to play the games. We really enjoy us-
ing the computers.
February is the month of love. In
Kindergarten we have been talking
about emotions and how to deal with
the feelings we have. We made "love"
booklets. sweetheart recipes- and
everything we could think of with
hearts. .
The 'Kids on the Block' puppets
performed, and we saw how people
reacted todisabilities. Most of all we
learned that kids are different on the
-outside. but we all share the same
feelings inside and that's what
matters.
Grades 1 and 2
This month was very exciting. For
ground hog day we made groundhog.
puppets. We -enjoyed asking Mr. -
.Groundhog questions.
We held Valentine's Day on
February 1:3, with an exchange of
cards and treats.
The winter fun day was on Wednes-
day February 25th.` - - ---_ ---
We would like to welcome the new
student in grade two, Rayna Milne
from Malaysia.
Grade 3 and t
February as we know it. is the
month when we learn how to write
and present speeches. We write about
many interesting and amusing topics.
Pretty soon it was time to say them
in class.
The grades three and four students
that were. chosen to represent our
class in the gym were Jeff Kirk. --
Angie .Clarke, Angela Erb and
Michelle O'Connor. They did very
well. considering it was their first
time. -
To go along with speeches. there
was a mini -course on communicating
on February 17 and ,,18. Sabrina
Schilbe and Jeff Kirk had lots of fun
attending that: --
Grade 5 and 6
Our class has had a very exciting
month. Speeches relating to all possi-
ble topics were presented in class.
The speeches were of excellent quali-
ty. Jason Erb, Jennifer Morrison,
Jodie McGee, Jamie McGee. Julie
Restemayer, Joel Siebert, Paula Wat-
son, De Ann Foreman, and Susan
Ferguson represented our clash in the
gym. .
Jodie and Jaime McGee were the
winners in this division and went on
to speak in Hensall.
Mrs. Graham, Art Co-ordinator,
came to our class to teach us weav-
ing. We made head bands and belts.
Mr. Weido also introduced the
Science Safari activities to us.
Presently we are enjoying aero-
dynamics in science classes.
Grade 7 and 8
This month we had a special guest
come to our school. Her name was
Mrs. Graham. She told us a lot about
art. We made masks out of old potatoe
sacks. We shaped a face out of the
sack and then we let it dry for the
night. Then during the next art class
we painted them. We all thought.it
was a lot of fun.
Also this month we learned how to
make belts. Mrs. Graham gave us
each five straws and some yarn. We
weaved through the five straws with
the yarn. Then every time we got near
the tnp-we_puiled-the-yarn down—
When we were finished it was a belt.
We all thought it was good fun.
Valentine Assembly
On February 13 grades seven and
eight put on an assembly. There were
a variety of plays, songs. poems and
funny jokes. The kindergarten class
sang some songs and recited poems
to celebrate Valentine's Day. We real-
ly enjoyed it. .
On the 20th. grades five to eight
went to the St. Boniface school to see
a performance put on by a crazy pro-
fessor and a friendly dinosaur. -
They showed a slide selection about
how Natural Gas is found and what it
is used for. They also sang and danc-
ed to some amusing songs.
A student in grade five named R.J.
Milne volunteered to put some balls
and sticks together to demonstrate
what gas atoms look like.
They also showed us some ex-
periments using natural gas. The per-
formance was very interesting and
