GoNoOdle

In our class we love GoNoOdle.  We use it for brain breaks and for D.P.A. (Daily Physical Activity). There are multiple categories that provide fun for everyone. GoNoOdle has suggested having students and parents create accounts at home to help keep students active over the summer.  If you are interested in doing so please use my personalized invite:  https://www.gonoodle.com/s/mwillford

Pitch-In Pizza Party

Congratulations Wise Owls on earning a Pizza Party!  This is our finished art project for Pitch-In.  Thanks to Dominoes Pizza for sponsoring this!

Bicycle Safety

I was so happy to see one of the Wise Owls practicing bicycle safety on their way to school by walking their bike across the crosswalk.  Way to go!

Good-bye Grass Heads

It is time for our grass heads to head home.  We had a lot of fun taking care of them, watching them grow and decorating their faces!

The Happy Dance

Today we had library class.  Mrs. Nielsen did and the kids got to do the "Happy Dance" because everyone brought their library books back.  Way to go Wise Owls!

Grasslands Family Literacy Night

Tonight Grasslands held it 2nd annual Family Literacy Night.  It was exciting to see all the ways that the schools in our division are promoting literacy.  I loved seeing all the families that came out to participate.  I really enjoy interacting with my students outside of school.  Thanks to Cenovus for hosting the BBQ!

The Clothespin Challenge

Today we started the Clothespin Challenge! Every student who earned 5 points got to pin their clothespin on me.  Giggles ensued as the first clothespin was pinned to my sweater and the excitement continued throughout the afternoon as more were added.  I got a few strange looks and one of my students said that I looked weird but it was a lot of fun.  I'd love to say that this was my brilliant idea but I got this idea from a teaching colleague I network with in the United States.
