Grade 6 Leders

As the holiday season is approaching we are trying to think of others and to show our appreciation. On Friday, we began a Random Acts of Kindness Project with our learning buddies. We are creating cards, posters, signs, awards etc. for various people who we want to honour in our School Community. We look forward to seeing their reactions when they receive our appreciations!!!

I would like to wish all the Leder students and families a very HAPPY HOLIDAY season. Enjoy your special time with friends and family. Thank for all your continued support with our Leder Learning and I am looking forward to many more learning adventures in the Leder Community in 2019! 

Congratulations to Ariana (3rd place), Anthony (2nd place) and Aiden (1st place)  for earning the most Way to Go points up to the Progress Report cards. We will have our next winners when at the end of the first term in February.

Answer: A group of Creative Leders!

I would like to congratulate all the Grade 6 Leders on a very successful first half term of the year! I hope you have had an opportunity to review your report card and you should be celebrating your accomplishments! It was nice meeting with most of you at parent-teacher interviews and I would also like to thank all the parents for their consistent support with their children...WE COULD NOT DO IT WITH YOU PARENTS!!! Looking forward to sharing many more Leder learning opportunities with you.

We had a great ceremony for Mr. Foo today. The students spent so much time preparing their star wishes for a class book for him. A group of students spent a lot of time preparing an amazing slide show presentation for him too. One student even created his own video for him at home. While we were sad that today was his last day, he promised that he will come and visit with us soon.  We would like to thank Mr. Foo for being an amazing Student Teacher and we wish him the best of luck with the rest of his program!

As a Learning Buddies initiative, we are having the whole school participate in Wacky Wednesday Sock Day at school on Wednesday, November 21st. We are using socks as our symbol to send the message that we respect differences at BHES while raising awareness towards the importance of showing respect and being kind to others. Help us with this mission by having the students wear their wackiest socks on Wednesday BECAUSE ANYONE CAN HAVE A WACKY DAY!

We have been learning about Remembrance Day with our Learning Buddies. We created post cards that we will be sending to Veteran Soldiers and we created poppies that will be displayed at Friday's remembrance day assembly. It was so nice for our students to be role models for their little buddies.

We are so proud of your "Being Weird" monologue performances at today's assembly! Thanks for being Drama Leaders!  

Thank you to all the students for their tremendous effort in coming up with a creative idea for our annual Halloween Pumpkin Contest at BHES! I would also like to let you know that we won this contest and we are so proud of how well our Leder Community worked together on this projec t. Way to Go Leders!!!

Wish us luck as our entry will be on display tomorrow...

On Friday, our first Teacher Candidate from OISE came for his first Observation Day. The students were so excited to welcome him to our learning community. We look forward to seeing him again Thursday, October 26th. He will begin his four week teaching with us on October 29th. 

Way to go Ariana for a great costume for our Being Weird Monlogue. A special thanks to Aiden for being a great M.C.! We were so proud of Aleena and Alisha who performed their monologues today at our first official drama club session. They both did great and we cannot wait for more performances later this week! A special thanks to Alisha for being a great M.C.! Aiden did a great job dressing up for his role today with Anthony as our M.C.!

It was so nice to meet so many of you tonight at Meet the Teacher Night! Thank you for making the time to come and learn about our Leder Community of Learning. For those of you who were unable to make it tonight, I will send home the package that was given out and I look forward to meeting you soon. Thanks for all your anticipated support with your child's learning this year! I look forward to getting to know you and your children as the year progresses...

Every year the Leders vote on a name for our class mascot. This year, TEDDY SOCKS was the name selected by the Grade 6 2018/2019 Leders. He will be our inspiration to have a positive, fun and successful year!
