Friday Assembly

Today
Today we multiplied decimals with tenths. Right before the class was going to mark math Mrs. Bland called the leadership kids to go in the gym and help with pals. Pals are for pre school kids to explore the Elementary school. In math we are playing a game with partners and they are playing it with tiles. It looks very interesting. After this I think we have a test for science on simple machines like pulleys, levers and wedges. Than it is going to be recess. Lots of kids play two square and some kids play four square and now that the snow is gone we can play on the playground. After we go inside there is an assembly at 11:15.I am going to take some pictures. Some people are going to record it. It is about school rules. The grade six and sevens are going to put on some skits. Then we have a Guided reading meeting. Guided reading is when there is a group of teachers that take a group of students and help them get better at reading. Before art and P.E. the class marks homework our home end of the day. Then we have art and P.E. In P.E. It is games day today. That means we get to pick the game. I do not know what we are doing for art. Oh yah I almost forgot we have another assembly about the gold rush. I think it will be very interesting. Today was an interesting.

Football

Our daily blog
Today is Thursday March 29, 2007. We started our school day with doing a little bit of not hard multiplying in math. At 10:00 a.m we went to Reading power. In reading power we learned about Inferring. At recess people played ground tag. After recess we did readers theatre .In social studies we did a map of the gold rush trail with Lillooet on it. We read chapter 1 and 3 in science about Forces and Machines in our science Probe textbook. Sometime today we will have a test. In my guided reading group the people are Luc, Jessica, Talicia, Me (Ashley), Tyrin, Cole. In Katelyn’s read group there is Tyler, Nick, Grace, Cathy, Kevin, and Me (Katelyn). In my group (Ashley’s) we are reading about Building a Website. Katelyn’s group is STILL reading about Confucius we did french and first nation language. In library we took books out. We did a work sheet and watched a movie in science. Then went to the computer lab.
This is our spring special edition of today’s BLOG. Katelyn and I were very Lucky and got to see some action of flag and tackle football with the grade 7 class. If you look to the right you will see Mr. Lane talking to the grade seven’s about football. You will see Bryan and Connor tackling. You also will see Jake on the ground. Like a big fight check this out!
This is our SPRING edition of today’s BLOG. Spring started on a very rainy day on March 21, 2007. Apparently a baby lamb was born Jones Farm. Most of you would think of Jones Market; but it’s a beautiful farm where a lamb was born. The robins are the first sign of spring. There are also bees and bear out. So be Careful for your safety
The flowers in my yard are blooming. Yes I would say spring is here.
Well it’s getting warmer out so a lot of people are working outdoors, playing sports and more. When I say working outdoors I mean weeding, planting flowers, painting and more. When I say sports I mean baseball, soccer, rugby, football, biking, walking, hiking, scootering, skateboarding, and more.

Fractions

Learning

Today is March 28, 2007. In math we are changing fractions into division statements and vice versa, plus decimals into division statements. In P.E. we played raquette ball and floor hockey, it was great. During science we are working on a topic called Simple Machines, today we were learning about screws and how they are inserted by turning. We made screws by using a triangular piece of paper,
Then we put a pencil at the widest edge, and then we rolled it and marked around it, when we opened it, and the line was an inclined plane. Then we went to our guided reading groups. Then we wrote a paragraph about the ST. Patrick’s dance.

Benchmarks and Wedges

Today

Today our class learned about benchmarks in our workbooks. After we finished the math we marked it. After that the class did word sorting with Mrs.Barth and the class did a spelling test. After the class did word sorting we did social studies. In social studies we learned about the fur trading. When social studies was done our class went for guided reading then we went out for recesses. Some kids in our school play two square and others play on the playground. When the bell rings we all go inside. After we came inside we were reading the play how the land of the Blackfoot people came to be.

Spring Break!!!

Last week was spring break. We got a week off school. During that time we, Luc: I went to Kamloops for a day, Nick: I went to Kamloops on my dad’s birthday with my dad and bought my brother a PSP (Play Station Portable). We all had fun!!!

During spring break I went to my grandmas in Langley form Friday until Wednesday. Then I came home and stay home for about 20 hours and then my mom, dad and I went to Kelowna from Thursday to Sunday.

Mexico and Hockey

Here is something I wrote about when I was in Mexico.
Tyler

Monday


On Monday it was my first day in Mexico. We caught crabs and
Saw jellyfish. Dylan Harder and me played shuffleboard it was my first
Time ever to play; I was really good at it. The ocean was really cold at
First it took a while to get used to it then it felt nice. The water park
Was really big and there was lots of water slides. I liked the slide with
Bucket, it filled up with water then the water gets dumped on you. For
Dinner we went to the Italian restaurant. I had chicken nuggets and fries
It was pretty good. When Riley and me were on the rocks we saw a
Tarantula. I drank about 10 strawberry dakeries a day. My dad and me
buried Callie and Ashley in the sand. On Monday it was my first day in
Mexico.



Tuesday


On Tuesday we went to swim with the dolphins. Our dolphins’
Name was Poseidon the trainer said he was the best dolphin there. He
Was really friendly, at the water park there were 9 dolphins. The trainer
At the water park said that dolphins in captivity live until 30 to 40 years
Old. At the end of the swim we got goggles and we could listen to them
Speak under water. Before we went in the water we got our picture taken
With a sea lion, he smelled like dead fish. We got to ride on boogie boards
And the dolphins pushed you they felt like rubber it was really cool. The
Dolphins eat tons and tons of fish. We also got to ride on their backs. For
Dinner we went to the Japanese restaurant. On Tuesday we went to swim
With the dolphins.





Hockey
by Travis


On Friday the Lillooet Pistons went to Kamloops and chase
For the play-offs. Our first game was on Friday at 11:45am we lost
Our first game then my family stayed at the comfort inn hotel. The
Hotel had a water slide and my sisters and I went down the water
Slide like 100 times. Then our Saturday game was at 7:00 am.
And we lost that game and then we stayed another night, but
We stayed at the maverick hotel and the hotel had a water slide.
And this weekend I’m going to the all-native tournament on March
22, 23 and the 24. On Friday the Lillooet Pistons went to Kamloops
and chase for the play –offs.

Spring Break

Spring Break
This is Katelyn and I think we should get at least three weeks off for spring break. There is a reason that might not happen is because we could forget things but I say oh well to that. We could always study for a while at school to refresh our memories when we get back. When we are at home we can do things to improve our marks. For p.e we can practice sports so we can improve our mark. If you go travelling you can learn about the place and the people and wrute about it when you get back.it would be good for our mental health. We can spend more time with our families and get closer to each other. We can spend time with our friends so we aren’t always talking about where we went and who we saw and what we did. Ms.Seed would be the best principal ever if this happened. The Cayoosh Elementary school would be the best school ever. The kids would work harder because they will have time off of working and struggling. I think it would be cool if we got at least three weeks off of school for spring break.

Spring Break

My name is Kevin and I think spring break should be three weeks
long. Some people might say you might forget thing but I don't think
that¡̄s true. If you get a lot of exercise, your P.E mark will be higher. If
you travel you can learn new things from different places. And if you relax
more you'll be ready to learn but there are also many other reasons why we
should have three weeks of spring break and besides my aunt used to be a
teacher. Also I have homework at home too (not from school!!!!). Well anyway
I believe spring break should be three weeks long. Enjoy spring break! I
still wish it would be three weeks long.

Poetry

This morning our class did math problems. After some kids finished math they helped other people. At the end of the period we marked math. In science we learned about levers and fulcrums. We learned that you could move the whole earth. After science we will go to recess and play games outside. We are skipping now that the snow and ice has gone. We play basketball and bouncing balls. We are reading about the Olympics and famous people in guided reading. We are writing poems. On Friday we will pick our favorite poems.

Here is a poem call and acrostic.

Rainforest

Today

Today we learned all about the rain forest. We also did sentences about the rain forests in our groups. We had so much fun today. It was a blast. We all had fun. Mr.Oakes is the best teacher ever. He lets us have fun. I took a picture today of Ms Barth, yes me Melissa. I was in a picture as well. I was pretending to be sick. It was really funny. I like Mr.Oakes’ class. We learn something new every day. Now I will hand you over to Celestina. We fed Rosy a juice cricket. It is time to go home now.
