Interview on Julia May

Me: Hi I’m Amy and I will be interviewing Julia May!

Julia May: Thanks it’s an honor to be interviewed.

Me: Well Julia May when you were on the underground railway running were you scared?

Julia May: Yes I was scared because I thought that our master and dogs were chasing us and I got blisters and bruises.

Me: What was it like getting to Canada to be free?

Julia May: I was really excited because now my family and I were not slaves anymore!

Me: When you got to Toronto Canada and after a few weeks your Brother Tomas left for the war, did you think he would survive?

Julia May: No I thought it was a bad Idea because since Sarah, Caleb and Daniel got taken away it made it worse.

Me: Since you saw Miss Marissa do you think she will tell your Mistress?

Julia May: Maybe, but since we moved out of town I don’t think they will find us.

Me: Well thank you Julia May for sharing about your life!

Julia May: You’re welcome!

Happy Holidays and Thanks

Happy Holiday and all the best to everyone in the New Year!  It has been a very busy time at Beaumont these past few weeks . . . writing and illustrating a Christmas Book for our grade one buddies, finishing up our unit on Living Things and our arthropod design project,  algebra and factor trees, time-lines, volley ball, cold weather, art club, indoor recess, assessments, report cards, holiday concert, assemblies, and of course our Christmas party! 

Students have all worked very hard this term and have accomplished a lot.  I am proud of the work that each and every student has done and look forward to continuing our journey in the New Year!

At this time I would like to extend the very best wishes to all our families, and to thank everyone for the thoughtful gifts.  I am touched by your kindness.

•respect the cultural diversity in our classroom

•recognize factors that shape personal and national identities
•manage and communicate ideas
•write properly organized and formatted paragraphs
•follow the writing process
•create original art to communicate ideas
•practice collage technique
Students may be bringing home their writing drafts to work on over the next week or two.  Watch for photos of finished work to be posted as we complete our art work.

UNICEF

Our school is raising money for UNICEF for the kids in Africa. We are raising money by making hemp bracelets. We have fun making them. Grade 5 and 6’s are hoping to make 300 hemp bracelets! We are presenting videos to other classrooms to teach about UNICEF so they can help us raise money for UNICEF. The younger grades help by bringing money. Last year we raised over 300 dollars. UNICEF is a great program. That’s worldwide. UNICEF helps kids in Africa get food, water, education and bikes to ride to school. It costs 20$ for kids to have pens and pencils. 60$ can buy a whole school supply of soccer balls. 109$ can buy a kid a bike to ride to school with. 217$ can buy kids school supplies. 509$ can buy a community a water pump. 1966$ can buy a school tent for if they live to far away from a school. Sign up for UNICEF and help kids in Africa.
