Well here it is, our upgraded blog. We are very excited to be able to keep posting blogs and keep you up to date with what is going on in our classroom. Enjoy the pictures from September.

In September we made flowers using white glue to draw, chalk pastels to colour, and black paper as the background. It has added a nice pop of colour to our classroom as the leaves outside begin to disappear! We are very thankful (and so are our parents) that Mrs. N. waited until after our pictures were taken to do this art with us because it was quite messy (but it was also so much fun)!

Last Friday a real circus performer came to our school. Her name was Sapphire.  She did many neat tricks like juggling, contact juggling, putting her arm all the way around her head, and everyone’s favourite, glow in the dark hoola-hooping! She amazed us with her skills but she also taught us a very important lesson: It is ok to be who you are and no one should make fun of you for that. She talked about how when she was younger many people were not kind to her and how she wished someone would have stepped in and told the unkind kids to stop being so mean. Sapphire challenged us to always stand up for our friends, classmates, and others we may see who are getting picked on or bullied. What a great message!

Thanks for being patient as we upgraded the blog. Check back again soon for pictures from our tour of the fire hall!
