I thought I would begin the presentation this evening by showing you some things that were happening in our school yesterday (friday)
but of course it didn’t look like this, it looked like
this
we always start our day with students singing O’Canada
followed by students wishing other students happy birthday
this class was starting the day with a bit of guided reading (en Francais) from our guided reading lab
of course people have to bring attendance to the office if they have a substitute teacher
Mme. Erin’s grade 2’s were creating movies using showme. These will be shown to parents at SLC tomorrow. here is a Demo of a grade1 clip
at the same time in our computer lab our grade 4’s were doing the “tell them from me survey”
we had guests, Andy McKeil from St. James, and student teacher’s from UCN in our school
The UCN students observed the show me lesson in grade 2, Mme. Donovan’s class creating movies with Imovie in grade 5, and this music class where they played a song on the ipads
students were grouped into drums and other instruments
then sang the song. I left before they sang the song and played at the same time on the ipads
while this was going on students in our grade 8 class were using glogster, collecting samples of their work in preparation for student led conferences
this gives you an idea of what a glogster creation looks like
and every friday is goodie day for staff at recess break
after recess we had our remembrance day ceremonies
our assembly began with this video, but I’ll let you know more about that in a couple of minutes
our assembly is emceed by our grade 8 students
and everyone helps with the decorations
also on Friday we applied for this award. explain the selection process. top 15 selected for stage 2 application. 7 projects are selected, prizes $7000, $3000, and $1000. Featured nation-wide.
Our projects have these foci. Explain how the project began from the novel study “the breadwinner trillogy”
explain the projects. Using the application as a guide. Explain all 6 projects briefly under this cycle.
Children at war project. Starting last year, we begin our remembrance day ceremonies with this video that was created by our grade 7 students last year as a result of this project. Thanks to veteran Merv McKay pictured in this photo for many of the images used. PLAY VIDEO
Here are a few other projects we are working on
our parent council is currently doing a book fair. $3000 worth of books were recently donated to our school
and Our parent advisory council is organizing this event
We have received $800 from MTS to cover substitute costs for some of our teachers to meet and discuss more effective use of smartboards in our school.
We are struggling to purchase more needed smartboards, but we are currently working on it.
we also received a $900 ManAce Seed grant
we were featured in the ManAce journal- Spring issue
and this is what this project is about
this is a qr code. Demonstrate how they work using my phone and qrbeamer. This code links back to our school website riversiderams.wikispaces.com
we are also discussing expanding our recycling program. We already recycle paper products
but we are discussing to include the recycle everywhere, recycling beverage waste initiative. We are about to start a pilot project recycling drink containers.
But we also know creating no waste is even better so we are purchasing (slide)
one of these --refillable bottle stations. Explain how they work. I have applied for a grant for 25% of this amount so far
I would like to conclude this evenings presentation, with a number....... 91%. This is the number of (slide)
