School Assembly

The grade 1s hosted an assembly on Wednesday. We introduced the school to Zones of Regulation which talks about how we can self-regulate by identifying the zone we are in. Also, we led all the students in the singing of our school song. Thanks to Ms Wasney for videotaping some of the assembly so we can share it with you.

Day of Pink

At our assembly today we celebrated Day of Pink. It looked like a sea of pink in our gym. We need to remember to be respectful and kind every day, not just on Day of Pink.

Here are our thoughts:
When I play football I need to pass the ball to my teammate. You don't have hands on. -Cody
I wore pink today. I am nice to people every day. -Callum
Don't bully people ever. -Naomi
I wore a red shirt today because I don't have a pink one. We need to be nice to people. -Landyn
I like having Day of Pink because it is important that you be kind to other people. -Russell A.
Today is Pink Day at school. We had an assembly. We talked about not being a bully. -Bapreet

Today is Day of Pink. I couldn't wear a pink shirt because I don't have a pink shirt so I got a pink paper bracelet to wear at school. -Jake
I love the Day of Pink because everybody is wearing pink. It looks amazing. -Gavin

I heard Travis Price on CTV this morning as he is in Winnipeg doing some public speaking for Manitoba Red Cross. The Day of Pink started in Nova Scotia and has now gone international. It is true, it only takes one to make a difference. Let's continue to build positive relationships each and every day.

Grade One Assembly

Today the Grade 1s performed at our Fall Assembly. The students sang Turkey in the Straw. . .  also referred to as "Gobble, Gobble". Then we did a Halloween song that demonstrated how we can follow directions and show off our dance moves. We did the song first by ourselves to teach it to the rest of the school and then all the students and adults joined in!

Kindness Assembly

The Grade Ones hosted an assembly about kindness on Monday, March 23rd. A Top 10 list about ways to show kindness was shared by students throughout the assembly.

Smile!

During our assembly today Mrs. Palamar reminded us about the video she shared on the first day of school. It spoke about how it only takes one person to make a difference and how we can be kind to each other in many ways. Students in Room 2 are working hard at showing kindness to others.



We shared lots of smiles today with a special cookie treat. The proceeds from the sale of the Smile Cookies go to the Children's Hospital. We are lucky to be healthy and active and we hope all children have the opportunity to play and have fun like we get to do every day. Thanks to Ms Wasney for getting the cookies for us.
What can you do to show kindness each day? Even a smile can make a difference.
