Div. 35 Teaches Our Little Buddies to be "Techies"

Recently, Div. 35 has begun to work with our little buddy classes on the computer. We have been teaching Mrs. Fitkall's Grade 1 and 2 class and Mrs. Funk's Grade 2 class how to navigate the internet to search for information and use this information to complete class activities. We are all impressed by how well the little buddies can use the computer. Obviously, they are future 'cyberstudents' in the making.

Of course, what would a "end of the day Friday" buddy class be without Mr. Mac and Mrs. Funk putting forth their best smiles for the camera.

We enjoy working with our little buddies on the computer, and hope to get more opportunities to do so in the third term. Now, if only Mrs. Fitkall and Mrs. Funk would stop canceling buddy time!

Riddle of the Week

Here is the riddle of the week. Post your answers by Thursday night and we will see who is correct on Friday. Thanks Matthew for sending the riddle. 

It cannot be seen, cannot be felt.

Cannot be heard, cannot be smelt.

It lies behind stars and under hills.

And empty holes it fills.

It comes first and follows after.

Ends life, kills laughter.

What is it?

Div. 35 Goes Skating

On Friday, our class went skating at Planet Ice, along with our grade 2 buddy class. Mr. MacQuarrie and Ms. Wilson chose not to skate this time, as neither of them wanted to break anything so close to Spring Break. 

Some of us skated with our little buddies, though many of the grade 2s are better skaters than us. Everyone skated hard, even Mackenzie, once she stopped using the skating support to help her stay up. 

Everyone had a great time on this field trip, including Mrs. Funk and our little buddies.
