Today was Soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
awesome!!!!!! Me, Peyton, Fin, Trent and Shmoo Shmoo (AKA Shamus) went down past the recess boundaries during gym. We walked down to show Ms.de Groot where the second fence was...
but... it turned out to be an ADVENTURE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
By the second fence there was a frozen river. But just then it broke! We got SOAKED!
We will now interview Fin, one of the people by/on the ice:
Max: So how was it down by the second fence?
Fin: Wwwwweeeeelllll the snow was deep and we couldn't see the the ice. Good thing I did not get soaked! The other guys did though...HA HA HA HA HA!
Max: Were you scared about getting soaked?
Fin: WHAT? NO! YOU'RE CRRRAAAZZZY IF YOU THINK THAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Max: OK OK. Now down to the FACTS... Was it hard to walk?
Fin: Ooooooohhhhhhh Yeeeeeaaaaah it was!
Max: Was it creepy?

Hockey Players with Growth Mindsets
Chad Duchesne and Jared Steege, Kingston Frontenacs
What we learned when they visited our classroom...
Fin: They use angles to play hockey.
Neko: Chad has a fake tooth and he wasn't wearing it.
Adam: They have to know where to shoot the puck so they know where to pass it to get into the net. They have to use MATH!
Lily: Chad lives in Inverary.
Trent: Jared used to live in Doug Gilmore's house.
Ethan: They persevere! I bet they were tired walking the halls but they still keep going to the classes and talking to students. Thank you!
Peyton: They are studying financial planning online at Queen's.
Morgan: Jared is from a very small town north of Pembroke called Cobden.
Max: Even if you're mad at the referees, don't call them zebras!
Leland: There is math in hockey.
Julie: They move around a lot, go to a lot of tournaments and they have to go to school online.
Ryan: I learned to never give up!
Kaidy: Melissa is their media relations contact and she told us that she passes out t-shirts at the games.
Alexis: It was pretty cool that they both signed my iPod case. They use math when playing hockey because you can't just skate down the ice and take a random shot and expect to get it in. You have to think about how big the net is, where you're shooting from and the angle of attack.
Shamus: They get in fights in hockey but only to protect themselves and their friends.
Ashley A: Jared lives away from his family.
Dani: Chad is number 4.
Nick: Jared is number 17.
Stella: Many classmates got their autograph.
Kennedy: They were born in 1995 and 1996 so they are both 20 years old.
Olivia: Jared said he couldn't remember the last time he took a slapshot. He also shares his birthday with me.
Ashley K: Chad was chosen for the team in the 13th round of draft picks. This taught him not to give up! (He had a growth mindset!)

Snow Angels
This week I found out this cool picture in the new Ripleys Believe It or Not and I had to read it. In the book it said that 2,000 people made snow angels and raised over 10,000 dollars for clean drinking water for people in Ethiopia. The Minnesota University started this. I hope all of the children and parents are happy from all of the money they spent on their health.

Algonquin Spring
Rick Revelle came into our class yesterday to talk to us about his new book and about native cultures. He showed us some cool things like weapons. He told us about some kinds of Aborginal Peoples like Haudenosaunee, Ojibwe, Mohawk and Algonquin. He has came into our classroom before when I was in grade four and he helped the green team make a video. And this year he came back. I would like to thank Mr. Revelle for coming back and sharing all of his cool things like Weapons, Drums, and Sweetgrass.
