Happy Lunar New Year!It's been an exciting week in Division 14 and a VERY busy one. The students had a lot of fun with Valentines Day and I was sorry I missed it. I came back to a Valentine's box full of thoughtful cards and little treats. I'm very, very grateful and thankful for such thoughtful students. Thursday we had some fun with our buddies. Instead of doing an activity in their classroom, they came to us! We showed them around the classroom (the guinea pigs were a big hit) and then we showed them some of our favourite GoNoodle videos. The Rollarcoaster was a big hit :) Finally, on Friday, we had two special events: Chinese New Year and the Rivermen came for a visit. We learned about Chinese New Year, discovered that our lunar calendar animal is either an ox or a rat depending upon which month you were born in and had a blast writing new years messages in Mandarin on Chinese scroll. They turned out great! As an end to an already busy day, then we got the chance to attend an assembly where the Langley Rivermen, our local hockey team, issued a reading challenge to many of the classes in our school. They challenged all the students in the gym to read for at least 20 minutes each and every day for the next 2 week. They were given a reading log (I've attached a downloadable copy below) and each student is responsible for tracking their progress. At the end of the two weeks, all the students who read for at least 20 minutes each day will be entered into a draw. The winners will win their entire class tickets to a Rivermen game! Plus, as an extra bonus, the top students with the most minutes of reading will receive Rivermen merchandise! What an incentive! Make sure to track those minutes!
What a busy week! Hope you have a wonderful weekend with your families.
