Congratulations to everyone on a successful first week! We have set the expectations for the year and are the learning is in full swing! On Friday, the students had a busy day of learning! They continued learning about the 'LEARNING PROCESS' through the lens of the BIG 6 Learning Principles and their name card assignment and their personal collages. Students will learn to take full ownership of their learning by following learning intentions, co-creating success criteria, asking questions, going through the self/peer assessment process, and responding to timely descriptive feedback to push their learning forward. It is looking to be a fun and exciting year with the students of div. 2

IMPORTANT:
1.) Bring a mobile device (tablet or laptop) on a daily basis to use when needed. We want to avoid sharing school technology as much as humanly possible. Keep in mind, you are 100% responsible for your device. If you are unable to bring one, I will provide one to you.

2.) Collect pictures, drawings, 3D objects, etc for your personal collage and bring them with you ON MONDAY so you can work on it at school on Monday.

Daily reading requirement: 30 minutes.

4.) POST A RESPONSE:

Ms. Kim and I want to really learn about your personalities.

People usually do common sports like basketball and swimming. It doesn't mean that those sports are bad, but the sport that I do is more specific. I will be sharing 3 facts about myself and the main thing about me is sport.

Talking about me, the main thing that you should know about me is I love sports, that's why my favourite subject is Gym! The main sport that I play is fencing and this is my favourite sport. I started fencing since I am in kindergarten and I had approximatley played for 8 years. I start playing fencing in Hong Kong and I moved here in 2018 and start to join the fencing clubs here in Vancouver. I started to join the tournament and I got medals! I got 1 gold medal and 5 bronze medals. Whenever i got a medal, I feel I had accomplished a goal. But my final goal in fencing is to be in the Olympics which is a really long term goal. Another thing to know about me is I love Music. I love singing and I sing every single day. For me, singing is just an entertainment and just for fun. I also play clarinet but I like singing more. In clarinet, I am in level 6 and I am doing online lesson right now during this pandemic. The last thing about me is I love to play and bike around my neighbourhood. I always go and play with my friends and a lot of outing like hiking during this summer. I also love to do some poster and crafts at home and I also read when I am bored.

Now you know more about me and you might want to prevent giving me a sword because I might hit you!!!!!!! That's my story. How about you?

Hi, of course you already know my name so first let’s talk about what I like and what I don’t like! The main thing that you should know about me is I love sports, that's why my favourite subject is Gym! I very like sport because it will have a lot of fun during you play basketball, volleyball and more game with your friends. During the game you can make a strong team to win other team, so for sport you must have a strong teamwork or you can’t win other team! In sport there have a different kind of game, for example some people like basketball, volleyball, tennis and a lot..... but my favorite is basketball because I know this sport can make you get very tall and it very make your hands strong enough. In music class, I don’t really play any instruments because i think those instruments was very hart to play so I am “ok” with music.

Ok this is all about myself!! 🙂🙂🙂
Tell me your plzzzz!!!😀😀

9/20/2020 10:21:52 am

Hi Shirley, I think you can add a few more things about yourself. Like write some of your hobbies or some facts about you. The success criteria listed we need to write at least 3 things, so you should add 1/2 facts about you in this paragraph.

9/20/2020 12:42:35 pm

Ok thank for your feedback. Denise 🙂

9/19/2020 09:51:48 pm

Hi mr fisher for the collage can we find some food pictures online and print it out, then I cut it out?

Mr. Fisher

9/19/2020 10:33:40 pm

@Shirley-That is a great idea:) Go for it!

9/20/2020 10:18:56 am

Ok thank you!

I love biking.
I went for biking many times in this summer. I biked about 200 km a month.
I biked in Vancouver, Richmond, Burnaby, Delta, Surrey, Coquitlam, North Vancouver, and New Westminster. I also tried Chillwack and Squamish.
I bike on roads and trails but I like more trails because it is more fun. I feel exited on down hills.
I will practice more for better biking skills.

9/20/2020 12:31:49 pm

Hi Saeo, that's amazing. I also love biking but I had never try biking in ant other place except Vancouver.

9/20/2020 12:34:30 pm

I mean any other places.

9/20/2020 07:34:40 pm

Thank you Danise!

Despite that many people think they know me well, in reality, they don't. I was born in the year 2008 on March twenty-six. I love sports including baseball and skiing. During the warm season, I play baseball for South Vancouver Little League. I have been playing since 2015. My other passion, skiing started when I was in grade 3. Each year, my family and I would go to Grouse Mountain for skiing. I got better each year on the slopes. Now I can ski on any slope from greens to double blacks. Now that you know about my story, lets hear about yours.

9/20/2020 05:34:19 pm

Wow, I also love skiing, but going to black is weigh too hard for me. I can only ski from green to blue. But not all the blue slopes. They are still a challenge for me.

Jeffrey

9/20/2020 09:35:55 pm

Weigh is spelt as way not weigh.

Hi, I'm Amrita and I'll be sharing few interesting things about me that you might not know.

The first thing that you might not know about me it that I'm a vegetarian. I have never eaten meat, fish, ham etc. I choose this decision form the start and I still don't regret it. I also like playing badminton and I have played it since I was 6 years old. The first person I have played badminton with is my dad. He was the one who taught me how to play badminton. I enjoyed playing with him before and I still do now. Another thing you might not know about me is that I like to draw when I am bored. The thing is I don’t just draw, I watch a video from a channel called (Draw So Cute) and then, I work step by step till it’s finished. After I colour my drawing then, my masterpiece is completed.

These were a few unique things about me, and I would love get feedback to improve my work.

Rhea

Hi Amrita,
This is a very good paragraph! What made you choose to be a vegetarian? Why do you enjoy drawing? Add some more details to make your writing even better!

Annisa

Hi Matthew, remember to add capitals only when necessary, and remember to add some commas when making a list.

9/20/2020 05:17:25 pm

Hi there I am Kai.
I am 11 years old and I love playing video games. Some of my favourite video games are Fortnite, Minecraft, and Super Smash Bros. I also do Taekwondo. I am a black belt and it is hard for me to believe that I have been doing it for 6 years since I was 5 years old. I was born in Taiwan, yet I don’t know how to speak Mandarin. My name means triumph in Mandarin. That was all about me. What about you?

Kaitlyn

9/20/2020 08:09:50 pm

Wow Kai! Awesome job! I always wanted to learn Taekwondo, my cousin is also a black belt and he said he could teach me.
Your paragraph is great! But maybe the paragraph could have been a little longer and some more about the three topics...

Gabriel

9/20/2020 08:52:21 pm

Hi Kai, great paragraph! One thing, maybe you could add a bit more to it? Like what's your favourite subject? And I am very surprised you are born in Taiwan, and even more surprising, you haven't learned how to speak mandarin (pls don't take any offense). From that fact that you haven't learned Chinese, have you came here to Canada before you learned to speak? And are you hoping to learn it in the future? I know how to speak Chinese, but bad at writing and grammar. Want me to teach you how to say some sentences you wanna know?

9/20/2020 05:22:13 pm

Hello everyone, as you most likely all know, my name is Annisa. I was born in 2008, on March 12th. I am the youngest in my family, and I have an older sister. You may also know that I particularly love reading as my hobby, but what you may not know is why. I started reading at an early age, and one of my earliest memories of reading is sitting at the foot of my parents' bed. I remember my dad reading to me a story and I would intently watch him read. At that age, I was about three, the age when I first came to Canada. Now, nine years later, I still love reading as much as ever, and my love of reading inspired a love for writing. Both my mom and my dad play tennis, and they taught me how to play, so I enjoy playing tennis, but still have not really gotten the hang of it yet. I also like math, since taking problems apart and working them out is something I personally enjoy. I have been taking math classes at UBC for about two years (this year is my third), and I have previously done skating lessons but eventually quit, because my sister hit her chin on the ice and injured herself. I love drawing and experimenting with different art supplies like alcohol markers (like Copics), watercolours, different paints, pens, and others. Along with drawing, I also enjoy making paper crafts like origami since I fidget with my hands a lot, so I like to something more hands-on. Over the summer, I have also gotten into robotics. I reassembled a 3D printer with my dad, and created an EV3 robot with some of my sister's help to shake her phone. Now, that's enough about me. What are some of your hobbies and interests?

9/20/2020 05:39:32 pm

I learn a lot more about you after reading you paragraph. I never know about that you learn math lesson at UBC. No wonder why your Math is so good.

I am new to this school, so many of you wouldn't know me. So I will tell you a little bit about myself. I am 12 years old, and I have a younger brother named Bebe. (pronounce it like bibi) I came from China and immigrated to Richmond, Canada, in 2017. I went to Grauer Elementary school for grades 4 to 6 until my parents decided it was time to move out. We moved to Vancouver because it wasn't long until I needed to go to secondary schools. My parents wanted me in good education, so they looked all across Richmond and Vancouver to see if there is an excellent secondary school. Then they found Winston Churchill secondary school. So then they began finding open houses and looking for homes every day. After weeks and weeks of visiting other places, And finally, They found one. So I moved in and came to this school these days. I like art and crafting, almost any activity that I can create things with. For example, I enjoy creating art, making crafts, making videos, editing, and sculpturing. Other people all like playing games like Fortnite, Roblox, Minecraft, and loads of other games. But I'm not too fond of these games. I prefer a game called Starcraft, made by Blizzard in 1998. But I play the remastered version since the graphics are better. I like it because, in the game, I am the commander instead of being one person listening to orders. It is a strategy game where three races are fighting. You need to mine minerals and gas to have income, so you can build an army and destroy your opponent with strategy and micro.

That's all I can tell you, do you know me better now?

9/20/2020 08:02:45 pm

I'm new to Laurier Elementary so I don't really know any of you, and you don't know me.
My name is Kaitlyn and I have two twin brothers Gavin and Gabriel who are in Grade. 5 div. 4. I think they're right beside our classroom, too.
My two (and only two) favourite sports are badminton and skiing. My favorite place to ski is Cypress mountain un-run. I don't really like sports so I won't be joining any sports clubs besides badminton.
My last school was Elsie Roy Elementary. There are 18 divisions and it's a really new school. Last year I was in div.4, a split six-seven class. I had a class pet lizard; Lizzo Leguin and a pet fish; Barry B Benson. I've been at Elsie Roy for seven years k-6.
I enjoy Laurier and I think it will be a great last year of Elementary school!

9/20/2020 09:06:56 pm

Hi Kaitlyn, I also like to ski at Cypress and I always want to try un-run path.

Hello I am Colleen. My hobbies are drawing and playing video games. I like drawing because it is very nice to draw thing I like. and I like video games because it is very nice to play stuff online. I have a brother who is 2 years older then me named Maxwell. When I was in grade 2 I moved here to go to this school since my brother was going into grade 4 and the school I was in at that time only teached until grade 3. That is some stuff about me thank you for reading.

9/20/2020 08:46:52 pm

Hello Div.2, I am have just turned twelve two weeks ago and would like to share about some things I like to do. I enjoy playing basketball because it's good training for your health, it's competitive, and of course, fun. My two favourite subjects are math and gym. I like physical playing and math is really easy for me. I can understand formulas and ways to do it very quickly (not including word problems because I'm bad at those, only like e.g. 2+2=4, these kinds). I think understanding formulas will help me in chemistry and physics, since it's based of math. I also like to play online multiplayer games, since it's interactive and fun, you make some really nice friends. But watch out for online bullies, it's called cyber bullying if they bully you online. I really enjoy coding too, recently, I've been learning how to make HTML, CSS, and JavaScript websites. I have made a website but it's not publish to the public yet. But when I'm done, I will comment it for you guys to see it. I am hoping this year as the last year for me in elementary, would be the best year of all years!

Hello my name is Aaron. I am 11 years old in grade a 6. I am 1.5 m tall. There is 5 people in my family. My dad, elder brother, little brother, my mom and me. I got a cat called Karma and she is pretty cool.

Dillon

9/20/2020 09:24:34 pm

Hello my name is Dillon I am 11 years old. I will start with my favourite sports. I very like to play soccer and I really like to run around, but I cannot run for a lot of time.
My dad often me soccer years ago, but he doesn't train me anymore. After my dad doesn't train me soccer, my dad starting training me running. I do a lot of exercise to let my leg muscles be powerful, after a while L started to run for 50 miles as fast as I can, so I can't run for too long time.
I really like to eat hamburgers, but it's a kind of junk food so don't eat too much. the reason I like it is just it taste good, I very like the sauce in it and the meet, I will usualy chooze beef burgers, because hi don't really like pork or chicken.
I hope we are we will going to be good friends, please tell me more things about you.

William

9/20/2020 09:52:14 pm

Hi, most of you already know my name. I'm William and here some some captivating facts about me. I play a independent sport with not much popularity compared to other sports. Its figure skating and as I see it, I think its one if the most intriguing sports out there. Its unique but very dangerous. I have injured myself a couple times so if you ever consider to figure skate, you might want to reconsider. Aside from that, I think figure skating is definitely one of the most underrated and enjoyable sport you could ever try. I have won many medals including all 3 gold, silver, and bronze. The feeling of winning or beating someone you has to be one of the best feelings in the world.
Apart from skating, I, like many others like playing video games. Before all of the hatred from all the anti-video game people, I play because my friends encourage me to play and its really fun. It doesn't matter what game or what person, as long as I'm playing with someone, im contented. Yes, it may hurt your eyes but as long as your having fun and being responsible, I think its i great way to entertain yourself and have fun!
These are some facts about me and I cant wait to here yours!🙂

Cindy

9/20/2020 11:05:10 pm

Hello there, I’m Cindy. I like to draw, and I’ve been taking art pretty seriously for around like a few months now? Somewhere around 1-3 months I think. I used to do silly doodles and pass time with it, but I found I really enjoyed art so I decided to take it seriously. I still doodle silly things and stuff but rarely. I also like to play on my Nintendo switch. For some reason I just dislike playing video games in general, but there’s some exceptions, which may be surprising. I only like to play on my Nintendo switch for video games and nothing else. I also enjoy reading. I read a lot on my iPad but sometimes I don’t record it since they’re oneshot books which take me like 5 minutes. Reading makes me feel all sorts of ways, if I’m reading a happy book I’m calm and happy, if I’m reading a sad book I may still be calm, and maybe also laughing, since I rarely cry because of books and such. I like math class since it’s mainly independent and I don’t have to work with others. I don’t like social interactions, too much work, or being pressured. So group projects, and sports are probably my least favourites. I like badminton and volleyball though, I just liked them from the start. I’m not very good at any sport but I can play most of them.

9/21/2020 07:50:54 am

I like drawing to...

I suck tho :c

9/21/2020 07:52:02 am

I love drawing but I suck at it :D

9/21/2020 04:14:13 pm

Hi Tyler, remember that once you draw more often, you will get better! I’m not very good at drawing myself, but I enjoy it too!

A Little Bit about Myself
Many people take “fun” as playing video games, watching movies, and browsing the internet, but my term of “fun” is really different. One important thing I enjoy in my life are my extracurricular lessons. I really enjoy taking lessons because I get to communicate with students and learn at the same time. Some classes I take include math, piano, music theory, robotics, English, and Chinese lessons. Overall, I like music theory and math classes the best because it involves a lot of logical thinking. I also like to read books related to magic and mythology. This is because reading books are like going into a world that is most likely not going to happen in real life, like experiencing superpowers. Lastly, I enjoy participating in many projects because ideas are always popping into my brain. Some examples include making a self-recorded science project on PowerPoint and doing various research projects. In general, I just like educational-related topics. What do you like to do?
