Reflections on an AMAZING School Year!

6/11/2015

It’s hard to believe that the end of the year is already here. Sometimes it feels like the weeks go slowly but as I look back on to what an amazing year that we’ve had, I can’t believe how fast it’s gone. From our trip to the RBG, writing our verse’s, getting filmed for the CBC, all those things feel like they just happened. It has been an amazing run this year, truly amazing, and I am so proud and glad to have gotten to know each and every one of you, a little better. We’ve done so much learning, laughing, and living this year and as we write our last blog post, it’s time to do a little reflection. Your blog post this week is to go through all of our twitter pictures from the school year and find your TOP 3 moments. The first twitter picture from this year is called “team building river raft”. Your three best moments don’t have to be from twitter pictures, it can be anything that happened at school this year.
Once you’ve chosen your three best moments from the year, write them down and then do two things:
1. describe what happened, what was the day / moment like, what was going on, who was there, etc. and
2. explain why it was one of your best moments of the year. Reflecting on the positive and amazing learning we done is an awesome way to glide into the summer months and our vacations.

My 3 favourite mooments of the school year:

1. Making the stickman video with Andrew. It was so much fun figuring out the actions for our stick guy. Every time I see a stick man I will remember that day.

2. I had an awesome time making my kite. Mrs. Mac and Mrs. Williams helped me. I did not have as much fun flying the kite as I did making it. I like building things, so that's why this moment was so great.

3 The first day of school was absolutely fabulous. I had been away from River Oaks for 2 years and coming back was so cool. I was so happy to see all my friends. I missed River Oaks. Even kids in grade 7, who I had been in kindergarten with remembered me and I remembered them. Did I say how happy I am to be back at River Oaks?

My 3 favorite moments were hard to choose, since the year was full of fun times but some of my 3 favorite

1. The first day, it was great to see all of my friends again and it was the beginning of a great year

2. My second was DJing for the dance with Sandra, it was a fun experience and we picked up some inside jokes on the way

3. My third would be the stop motion project, it was a fun way to show our creativity and collaborate while doing something enjoyable with our friends

Top 3 moments of the year.

3.Making the stoplights and baked potato town. It felt so rewarding to have made a little town that had a working stoplight. I couldn't have asked for a better partner then Kate.

2.The second favourite moment was going to the Royal Botanical Gardens. It was just really fun to go out in the forest and see all of the animals and just to learn a little about them. When the little chickadees landed on your hand and took a seed. You got to see them up close and then watch them fly off.

1.My favourite moment was actually over the course 2 days and it happened four times on march 10th and 11th. FAME! Particularly when it was my solo. Just standing at the front of the stage singing my heart out the spotlight on me everyone dead silent listening to me. Singing with emotion and soul doing what I love to do. Most of all making a character out of nothing but a script and a costume. Convening emotions that aren't really there and bringing the character to life. That was my favourite moment of the year.

This year has been amazing and honestly I don't want it to end. Thank you Mr.Steltman :)

Top three moments of the school year!

1. The trip to the RBG where a chickadee landed on my fingertips and nibbled on seeds in my hand. It was so cool to be so close to nature.

2. It was fun making the stop motion movie with Emily. Together we made an awesome stop motion movie. We put a lot effort and detail in the movie. Release date in the summer of 2015!

3. The BBQ was a nice way to end a productive year. It was so nice to spend time with my friends and relax. We worked hard all year and the BBQ was a good reward for us.

1. My favorite moments have to be the circuit projects with
Ms. Pecarski because she really showed my how much I really like to work on circuits.

2. I have also enjoyed learning a lot of tricks with technology and I learned how to use an ipad (well kinda)

3. Last but definitely not least is you guys, thank you for making this year full of surprises, jokes, and hilarious moments. Thank you Mr. Steltman for making this year unforgettable.

1. Stop motion:Runaway Dawg. Making stop motion videos were great and I loved how the final result turned out! It was so much fun taking the different scenes and just exploring and having fun with it.

2. Kites. I loved making a kite for the first time in my life although I got a bit stuck on the tissue paper... (Thanks Sean!) It was very funny when we tried to fly them because there was no wind and everyone was just running around with their kites. Cam got his kite to fly though. (Only because of his speed.) It was very fun making them and later on during the week there was a little bit of wind so I tried to fly my kite and it worked!

3. Stoplights. My final top 3 things I enjoyed the most was our stoplights. I enjoy science a lot and I liked learning about different kinds of circuits. I liked making my stoplight and decorating it with the help of Mureed! (And Ms.Pecarski.)

The three best parts of the year...
1. I loved going to the RBG because we fed the chickadees and they ate out of our hands with the whole class.
2. I loved the begging of the year because I got to see all of my friends again and to find out that they were in my class!
3. I loved the fun fair because it is a good way to end the year and because I was spending the whole time with my BEST friends!

Thank you so much Mr. Steltman for helping me though out the whole year, this has been so much fun and AWESOME!

My top 3 moments of the year:

FAME! This event was so much fun and I was so glad to be apart of it! A bunch of people were there watching and in it, for the people who were in it were from grade 6 - 8 and the people who were watching was everyone at river oaks! I was super nervous but excited at the same time!

First Day Of School! This was an awesome event because I got to see my friends again, and meet my new teacher! Also I get to meet the new kids that had just come to river oaks! The first day feels nervous but again exciting because you don't know what's going to come!

Stop Motion! I loved the stop motion and doing it with 2 of my best friends was even more fun and amazing! This was awesome! It just felt like any other day but 10x more fun!

And a bonus... THE WONDER PROJECT!

Yes! This had to be one of my most memorable because I worked so hard on my chapters, and I was the last one done and that felt pretty good because I worked so hard!

1. The field trip for ALTITUDE, I know It was very recent but it was awesome, Everything about it was awesome but my favourite part was the climbing structure.

2. Skyping Chris Tozier. It was super cool to talk with a published author and asking him questions. It was also really useful to listen to his advice and I learned a lot.

3. Having Ms.Ms. Pecarski as our student teacher. She was an amazing teacher and she had so much to do with us. I really miss her. I hope she has a good class to teach.

There are lots of other things I could say and being in this class was a great experience. I hope everyone in this class has a great summer!!!

1. All the projects that we did, Because I put all my effort into those projects and I did the best that I could; and it feels good when you finally finish.
2.The field trip at Mcmasters, even though it was recent, I still felt like it was important because I really wanted to get up on top of the climbing wall, and even though I was so nervous, I still didn't give up and went straight up to the top!
3. Skype with Chris Tozier, I learned a lot from him on what to do with my own writing and it was such an exciting and great experience.
This year has been great with class 6-2!

Wow... so close to the end of the year! I have had good times, meeting new people making friends having the experience of having our awesome teacher! But my top three moments...
1. Getting recorded by CBC, that was an awesome experience and it made me feel like I could do anything that required coding!
2. The river raft on the first day of school because I found out how to work better as a team and to communicate with my peers.
3. Ms. Pecarski, I don't really need to explain this but Ms. Pecarski knew what she was doing! Ms. Pecarski, she was awesome.
Thanks for the memories!

1. One of my favorite moments is when we made our kites, I worked really hard on my kite and eventually, it flew. Then broke...

2. I also loved making my inanimate Alice episode 6 with Ms. Pecarski. I got amazing feedback and loved using Popcorn maker.

3. Even though it was just the other day, I loved the McMasters altitude trip. especially climbing the tower.

There have been so many great moments in this year but out of all of them, these have to be my favourite.
