Mr. Aubrey's Class Blog

We are having a Remembrance Day Ceremony on Friday.  We will start our ceremony at 11:00 a.m.  All our welcome to come.

The kids in our class are performing John Lennon’s Imagine.  Please go over the words so that we will all know them for our presentation on Friday.  We have been practicing along with ‘Connie Talbot’ of Britain’s Got Talent’ fame.  If you’d like to google her, and sing along, that would be great.  If not, please find the lyrics belong and read them over a few times before Friday.

Imagine

By John Lennon

Imagine there’s no Heaven:

            (It’s easy if you try.)

            Nothing below us;

            Above us only sky.

            Imagine all the people

            Living for today…

            Imagine there’s no countries:

            (It isn’t hard to do.)

            Nothing to kill or die for;

            And no religion, too.

            Imagine all the people

            Living life in peace…

            You may say I’m a dreamer,

            But I’m not the only one.

            I hope some day you’ll join us

            And the world will be as one.

Imagine no possessions:

            (I wonder if you can?)

            No need for greed or hunger

            In a brotherhood of man.

            Imagine all the people

            Sharing all the world…

            You may say I’m a dreamer,

            But I’m not the only one.

            I hope some day you’ll join us

            And the world will live as one.

Dear Parents,

We have had, in the past few weeks a growing concern about appropriate behaviour on the school yard.  Respectful behaviour is a necessary part of being a student here at Century PS.  Mr Thompson, our Vice Principal, came into our classroom this morning and talked to us about  how to behave if someone does something that bothers you.  Mr. Thompson talked about resiliency, and what that means to us.  As a class, with Mr. Thompson’s help, we came up with a class definition of sorts for the term ‘resiliency’; to bounce back in the face of adversity.  We have been asked by Mr. Thompson to have this discussion at home so that we will not find it necessary to have the discussion with certain parents and students at school.

Should you need any more clarification, or have any questions about this, please feel free to get in touch with me.

On a much happier note… we are going skating tomorrow.  We will leave the school at about 12:20.  We look forward to having lots of volunteers to help tie skates to make the day more enjoyable for all of us.

I have sent a form  with each student today, asking for email addresses for parents to help with the communication between school and home.

Thank you all for taking the time out of your busy lives to check into the class blog.  Soon, we will have reading assignments posted here for daily reading at home!  (Something for all of us to look forward to!)

I have been informed that bike helmets are no longer good enough head protection on the ice during our skating time.

Because of this, we may need to share helmets.  I know that we will have almost enough to go around between Ms. Knelson’s class and ours, but I would like you to understand that we may be in a position that will require us to rotate through the helmets.  Should you require any more clarification on this, please get in touch with me by email, or at the school.

What is required on your head is a ski/snowboard helmet, or a hockey helmet.  These can be purchased at sports stores, or I have also seen them at Canadian Tire and Walmart.

If you are a parent, helping us with skating on Tuesday, we are on the ice from 1:00pm until 2:00pm.  This means that we will be leaving Century at about 12:25.

Looking forward to getting on the ice and watching everybody improve their skating skills!

Mr. Aubrey.

Wow!  Day two of our class blog, and already I am behind.  I guess we were all a little excited about Halloween last night.  I hope that you all had a great evening full of fun, and maybe a little candy.  Please limit the amount of candy that is brought into school.  If candy becomes a distraction to anyone, then we will have to ‘ban’ it from the class.  Candy is only to be eaten at nutrition break (anyone else find that a little counter-intuitive? – candy during nutrition break? Candy is not to be eaten during class time or outside during recess.

Homework will be posted on the blog tonight, along with some more information under the important dates section.

Thanks for dropping by.

This is the first post to our newly up and running and extremely exciting class blog!

Starting on Monday, October 31st, I will try to post all of the homework in the homework section of the blog.  Feel free to visit as often as you wish, and include comments on what is being posted. Should you have any brilliant ideas on how to make our class blog even better, please let me know, and we’ll see what we can do to accommodate your request!  Should you have an educational website you’d like included in our ‘links’ area, please let me know, and I will see what I can do!

I am impressed at how many people have already checked out the website.  Keep it up guys!  This blog could become a really helpful tool in the classroom, if we all use it properly.

Happy blog surfing Grade Two-Threes! (be sure to check out the other Century School classroom blogs found on the right of the screen under ‘Century Online’)

Happy Surfing!

Mr. Aubrey
