Snow Day Memories

1/26/2017

 
    Watch the video above that a teacher has made about how she feels about snow days.  I found this video so entertaining, what a fun teacher she must be.  Snow days are the neatest thing for teachers because it’s one of those things that you don’t lose as you grow up.  Teachers and students love snow days the same way.  They’re a freebie day, one that you don’t expect and then when they come, they’re totally yours.  
    For your blog post this week, I’d like you to write about the best snow day that you can remember.  Remember, when you write a retell, it’s all about capturing the day by using descriptive words and bringing the reader into the experience with you.  I will start with my example.

    I woke up early, thinking, yes, there’s definitely a chance.  I rushed to the window and excitedly pulled back the curtain.  “Jacey, wake up!!! SNOW DAY!!!”.  She didn’t move so I picked up the iPad and check the website, it was real, a real snow day!”  I knew that I would make the most of this day with both Jacey and Vera.  We called up our other teacher friends and after a gruelling hour of shovelling, met up with them for a snowy walk downtown.  As we all got hot chocolates and coffee at the shop, Vera fell fast asleep in the coffee shop.  After taking her picture, I realized, snow days are family days now!

Thankful For Our Learning!

    On Wednesday, we had an amazing opportunity to visit Think Research Corporation in Toronto and learn about computer science, computational thinking, as well as get onto computers with their developers and code our own rock, paper, scissors games!  For your blog post this week I want you to write a paragraph or few paragraphs to the developer that you worked with.  Within these paragraphs, I want you to find a way to thank them for their time, their patience and their expertise but also to write to them about what you learned and what you’ve taken away from the time you spent with them.  Tell them how you plan on using the knowledge they shared with you and your group. This is your chance to brag about everything you did over the day, say thank you, and share your learning!

It's your book, what will you write in it?

    Our very first post of 2017!  I almost can’t believe it, the year is flying by.  I hope that your break was restful and pleasant and that you had a great chance to spend time with your families.  As I look ahead to the coming year, I’m invigorated and excited about the prospects.  A new year is a great time to set some goals, to push yourself further, and to complete some of the things you’ve always wanted to do.  As I look at the quote, “Tomorrow is the first day of a 365 page book, make it a good one”, I think about how I want to be successful and what I want to do to make this year amazing.  Our 2017 book may only be 352 pages long (as it’s the 13th of January) but what are you going to write in your book this year?  For your blog post this week, write a paragraph that tells us what your 2017 book will contain, what are you going to try, focus on, and accomplish?  What are you going to do to make 2017 your best year?
