On Friday November 22nd, TCS students brought teddy bears or other stuffed animals for our Student Council's Teddy Bear Toss. We met in the pit and everyone who brought a stuffed animal got to toss it on to our Student Council Reps. All animals will be donated to the sick children staying in the Minnedosa and Brandon hospitals at Christmas time!
In Math class the students are learning just how hard it is to spend $1 000 000! Each student has been given one millions dollars to spend during the next three Math classes. They can buy anything they wish as long as they don't go over one million dollars. It is not as easy as they had first thought!
Today in Science the students finished presenting their planet projects to the class. Each student had to choose a planet and create questions they wanted answered about their planet. We then created an outline and a rubric as a class. Once they were finished researching their planet, they had to choose how to present their information. Finished projects included posters, models, books, brochures, reports and powerpoints. Well done everyone!
This year we are Reading Buddies with Mrs. Macnaughton's 1/2 classroom. We do many different activities together. They read to us and we ask them questions to help them work on comprehension strategies. We read to them so we can practice our accuracy and expression skills. Sometimes we help them complete Art projects or practise their math facts. We meet every Day 4 in period seven.
On Saturday October 26th, our TCS student group LS!N volunteered to help the Minnedosa Lion's host their haunted house out at Dalrymple's Greenhouse! All the students had an awesome time and their costumes and make up were fantastic. The Lion's raised about $1400 which is being donated to the Stars Ambulance service! Great job everyone!
On November 1st, TCS had an assembly to find out how much weight the staff and students collected during our school wide food drive campaign called We Scare Hunger put on by the LS!N students. We collected a grand total 1969.66 lbs or 895.3 kg of food for the Minnedosa Food Bank! Our classroom collected 121.88lbs or 55.4 kg of food. Thanks to all my students who brought food. Way to go LS!N and TCS students!
