School Fun and Halloween

Sorry it's been so long, but I have lots to share now...

This is a little puppy in the town that some of my student bring by to see me in the morning. I gave her a can of wet food the other day and it was gone in seconds! Hungry little puppy.


Last week our school had a SET (Science, Engineering and Technology) challenge. This year the theme was Space, so different grade levels would be given different supplies to design different rockets. We had different straws, plasticine, a water bottle, and paper to create a pressure rocket. Here are some pictures of creating and the creations!

Deanna, Bridgette and Britney


David and Nathaniel


Class Rockets!


And the winner of the grade 5's was...Heather, Kasandra and Cassandra!


I'm trying out new recipes too...so I made baked doughnuts (Cinnamon Chai...yum). Our class sold these, cookies, collected change and sold shoes to raise money for UNICEF and the local food bank. Our class raised over $200! The school together was able to raise over $2500! Great work for a student body of about 430!


I always need to update you on Penelope...Isabelle is pretty quiet, but here is where she was fond one evening...Ryan's dresser!


Shane had the opportunity of going out on the land with the grade 9 class and hunt and fish. Here are some of his pics

Halloween is a favourite time for many here and we have costume judging in the morning at school and in the afternoon we have activities. 

Shane made a game, Pin the nose on the Witch, he was so proud.


The costumes we so fun...Shane and I were Robin Hood and Maid Marion. Shane was a winner for the best teacher costumes.


Here are some of the kids costumes

In the evening Ryan and Shane dished out the candy while serenading the trick-or-treaters. We also made an Arctic Jack-o-Lantern with a milk jug. 


The next day (Nov.1) the whole school went out the Old Water Lake and had shedding, dog sledding, ice fishing, hot chocolate and other fun activities. The day was perfect, only about -11 with no wind. Here's some of the fun...
