Shoutout to The coop daddy!

Mr. Hepting has been the best coop daddy ever! He has helped each student grow as an individual, from leadership skills to math he's taught it all. I'm so glad I had the privilege to have hepting as a teacher. The last week was stressful but he understood our priorities with finals and didn't stuff them all into the last two days of school. Thank you so much hepting for all your efforts in extending our learning. 

Coop campout

The campout was amazing! Even though it rained all night i loved it! When we were all making dinner it felt like we were actually a family. We made sure everyone was fed, I gave priyanka a chicken hot dog because she doesnt eat beef. It was the best bonding experience ever. I wish it was two nights! Coop has been anunforgettable  experience for me and all my fellow classmates. I am so thankful I was one of 28 lucky students to get into this rare experience. I wish it didnt have to end.

Shark video

Today Ms. Rogerson substituted for Mr. Hepting today. It was really fun . We watched a shark video and it was really well done. It changed my whole perspective on not only sharks but marine life in general. Their defenceless but they remain key species to out ecosystem. A part of me wishes we watched this video earlier in the year and had done something to raise awareness. 

A loooong week

This week has been reallly really busy. Tuesday was prep for both the grade 7 articulation and the school carnival. I had lots of fun with the grade 7's, although the boys weren't always cooperative. Then yesterday was the carnival, i honesty thought the whole thing would not be as successful as it was. Our game was a popular hit! Now everyone in co-op is wishing there was a grade 12 co-op.  :( 

Grade 7 tours

Yesturday half the class did the grade 7 tours for Highland, Mclaude Road and Woodward. Alayah and I had a mixed of group of 10 kids. I realized they were really shy at first but as the tour got loner and I added some humour as i talked, they seemed to open up more and asked questions often. Mr. Whitham gave each leadership student a list of everything we should show them in the school and The one thing that I think is important that wasn't on the list was showing the inside of an actual locker. Thats where most of the questions raised when I showed my own personal locker. I assured them that the physically size of the locker does not allow any children to be stuffed inside. Opening the actual lock scares them. On a positive note, they loved seeing the metal shop and wood shop as wellas the   foods room. OH and the super lab. Some of the kids in the group weren't shy and they talked to some of the grade 12 students during our tour.

Aquarium

Today we went on a fieldtrip to the aquarium! It was so exciting to be allowed to handle the underwater creatures. I didn't enjoy holding the creatures because they tinkled my hands. But it was fascinating to hear about them. I felt the scientific method workshop afterwards was unnecessary and too long. Other than that the day was exciting. My favourite is the penguins and sea otters! :)

I'm on the wall of awesome at work experience!

IT'S BEAUTIFUL !
