Fractured Fairytales

 

On Tuesday afternoon, the students had an opportunity to read their fractured fairytales in small groups.  The students spent a fair amount of time writing their scripts, and it was very entertaining to hear them read with drama and enthusiasm.  The students will be working in small groups to present their fairytales at our Presentation of Learning night coming up in January.  Here is a sneak peek of some of the titles.

"Joe and the Radio Tower"
"Pimplestinkskin"
"Jack and the Candy Cane"
"Hairyella"

"We wrote fractured fairy tales which was a chance to use our great imaginations. 
We shared with each other, and learned that some of our classmates are
very dramatic." - Chloe K.

Exploring Extreme Environments

Over the past two weeks, we have begun our unit titled Exploring Extreme Environments.  It is amazing how creatures and people are able to survive under such extreme conditions.

Some thoughts from the students...

"It its interesting how there is acid in caves" - Matthea

"I like learning about extreme environments because it is cool to see all the cool things that are in these environments.  Like it is freezing in the Arctic, and in the caves it is really dark and there are a lot of creatures in there like bats and glow worms." - Caleb

"I wonder how people are able to live in Anarctica because it is freezing cold there." - Liam

"You can turn urine into water in a process (part of a life support system) and the water will be totally clean.  They use this in spaceships to save water." - Emily

Christmas is in the Air!

This week, the students of 6B have begun adding their flair to our classroom.  We have a small Christmas tree set up and a whole variety of ornaments are slowly being added.  There will also be a classroom door decorating contest soming up, and our class has decided on the theme of Christmas in the Jungle.  I'm sure a whole lot of "wild" items will be making their way onto our classroom door.

A Busy Week...

Well, it has been a busy and fun week here in 6B.  We enjoyed some time skating on Wednesday followed by a special concert with The Wiebes.  Then this morning the students participated in our Grade 6 Christmas Music Chapel.  I was so proud of their "wacky" performance.  They showed a lot of courage and confidence while playing their boomwhackers for everyone.  This afternoon, we are going to enjoy a bit of quiet time and watch a Planet Earth movie that explores caves as part of our Extreme Environments unit. 

A few quotes...

"The Wiebes have amazing talent.  Also, they were funny." - Kevin
"I liked the concert because Shane Wiebe is an amazing singer.  I got to see him again after two years.  He used to live on my street." - Liam

The Cultural Fair

I am finally getting around to postng a few pictures of the Cultural Fair last week.  It was a huge success!  I was so proud of all of the students.  They worked hard on their displays, and it showed!  I enjoyed listening to each of their presentations and hearing what they have learned over the last few months.  It was a blessing to hear so many of them make comments regarding God's love for all cultures, and the need for us to respect everyone.  Of course we also enjoyed all of the delicious food from around the globe!  Thank you to all the friends and family who visited.  Also, thank you parents for helping your children to prepare for this special day.  It was a fantastic afternoon!

Please check out the weekly reminders.  It is going to be a busy week in 6B!
