Entry for Tuesday, June 16
"Year End Fun" for Mr. Hamer
Let's examine a few pages out of our class books.
This is the cover. It will be a different colour for each student.
This is the paper on which Mr. Hamer writes his personal note to you.
Remember writing our "Back to School" page? Yes, we were all a little nervous on that first day of school.
It was fun to write all about our summer holiday from school. Students did so many cool and exciting activities during two of the summer months...July and August.
Indeed, we were "Up, Up and Away" in our learning once we got settled into our classroom routines.
We quickly learned that St. Bernard is a "Bully Free Zone!"
We developed the WITS strategy...remember it.
We enjoyed running for Terry and for any family members or friends who have cancer. Our "Terry Fox Run" took place across the street from the school in the big park. We certainly went home tired that day!
Mr. Hamer read the Bible story of Creation.
We are thankful to God for all that we have.
Each month we wrapped up with a page in our class book detailing a lot of the activities and lessons we learned that month. It is called a "review" and we are proud of our efforts each and every month of the school year!
Thanksgiving occurs in early October in Canada. We wrote about the many things we are thankful for.
Indeed we gave thanks in October.
We learned about the fall season. This class book is the only one we made that was presented in "landscape" view rather than "portrait" view.
Autumn days are glorious.
This cover was from a class book made many years earlier...thus the different student names.
Today in History
On this day in history, June 16, 1884, the world's first roller coaster opened for the public at Coney Island, New York.
The early roller coasters were made of wood.
You traveled at six miles per hour...
...and it cost only a nickel to ride!
Cool, eh!
Four years earlier, June 16, 1880, the Salvation Army was formed in London, England.
This is a good army of volunteers who help out others.
The Salvation Army is actually a Christian Church and an international charitable organization.
Their members raise funds for the needy in their communities as well as helping out good causes. This is called charity.
Along with the wartime examples of charity you saw in the posters above, this building pictured in around 1920 is a women's dormitory the Salvation Army helped build. Being charitable is how Jesus would want us to be.

Walk Away
Ignore
Talk It Out
Seek Help

Language Learning
Speaking of charity, this wonderful read-aloud teaches us the value of giving of our time and other gifts to those in need.
Watch as Brother Bear and Sister Bear visit a senior's home for bears...of course, with their parent's permission.

Say! Have you ever ridden on a roller coaster? Check out the people who ride this one in the read aloud below.

Student Sharing
Say! What an awesome story! I would love to visit that playground for an entire day!
Here is some really nice work with palindromes.
Mom, dad, race car...all spelled the same front to back and back to front!
Such a lovely sample of albegra!
Even more challenging algebra work!
You've got to love these two lists offering up "Varieties of Toys" and "Varieties of Flowers".
Wonderful work, M.S.
Great work using different words instead of "said".
Thanks for sharing C.C.
A Glimpse of Canada
Ontario
Today we find ourselves in the beautiful province of Ontario.
Ontario is the blue province near the middle of Canada.
We arrive in Ottawa...
...the nation's capital. Yes, Ottawa is located in the fine province of Ontario.
The Parliament Buildings rest atop a bluff...
...overlooking the Ottawa River.
The round structure is the Parliamentary Library.
The Peace Tower which flies a new Canadian flag each day can be seen from many angles and perspectives around the city of Ottawa.
The Chateau Laurier stands next door to the buildings of Parliament, just across the Rideau Canal.
This is one of the grand railroad hotels...
...just like the Chateau Frontenac in Quebec City.
The Rideau Canal is both a national and an international historic site.
In winter, citizens of the city, along with thousands of tourists skate along the entire length of the canal.
You can buy "Beaver Tails" along the route of the canal...a richly flavoured pastry.
These are the series of locks...
...which lower boats from the Rideau Canal down to the Ottawa River.

We head down to the St. Lawrence River...
...where we find the Thousand Islands.
The owner of these two islands has his home in Canada and his backyard in the United States. This is Zavicon Island.
About two-thirds of the almost 1800 islands are in Canada.
Here is Toronto, which happens to be Ontario's capital city.
(Remember, even though our city of Ottawa is in Ontario, it is the capital city for the entire country!)
(Remember, even though our city of Ottawa is in Ontario, it is the capital city for the entire country!)
The city's skyline appears quite different...
...at different times in the day.
The reflection of the skyline in the waters of Lake Ontario is beautiful, indeed!
The CN Tower dominates the skyline.
It is lit up in a variety of colours depending on the occasion.
The SkyDome where the Toronto Blue Jays professional baseball team plays is located near the base of the tower.
It's fun to take in a baseball game in the summer...
...where you may very well be able to see the tower from where you are seated in the stands.
Toronto is a very beautiful city...
...with many parks and trees.
"The Beaches" neighbourhood is a fun place to visit for an afternoon of leisure...
...with its long boardwalk along the sand.
If you are of the daring type of personality...
...try hanging out "outside" near the top of the CN Tower...
...or, if you wish for a more relaxed time, head up into cottage country...
...for a day, a weekend or a full summer vacation...
How about...
...taking a boat tour...
...around the lakes of cottage country!
Or...just relax...
...in a Muskoka chair (sometimes called an Adirondack chair)...
...and watch the sunset over the lake!
Check in tomorrow when we will visit our first prairie province of Manitoba!
Prayer For Charity
We leave this posting today with a lovely prayer Pope Francis would like us to learn. It is about Charity!
Have a beautiful day everyone!
