John Adam Job Fair - Riverside School Board
December 2012, Volume 1, Issue 3 Student news straight from the source John Adam Job Fair Alexia and Chelsea So many job possibilities to choose from! On the morning of Friday, November 2nd, 2012, the Grade 5 and 6 students had a presentation to show information on their job shadowing project. This event took place in the gymnasium. Several classes and some family members came to look at the presentations. In the entire gymnasium there were about 80 posters. There were a lot of tables and every person had their own station. We enjoyed interviewing our parents during the job shadowing and making our posters, but it was long waiting for people to come talk to us. Scholastic Book Fair Andrew and Filip The Scholastic Book Fair took place in the library on November 15th and 16th during the parent-teacher interviews. Mrs. Lori is the one who chooses the books with the teachers based on what the students are studying and what they like to read. She chooses books for all ages of children in our school. Inside This Issue Job Fair p. 1 Book Fair p. 1 Volleyball p. 2 Remembrance Day p. 2 What’s Happening in … p. 3 Movember p. 3 Did you know that the books arrived in metal containers? All they had to do was open up the containers and all the books were already placed. The parents and their children came to look at them and chose which books they liked. Did you know that there were 315 books that were sold? The bestselling book was Diary of a Wimpy Kid. The Parent Participation Organization (P.P.O.) collected approximately $1400. All of the money will be going to buy new books for our school library. December 2012, Volume 1, Issue 3 p. 2 Boys and Girls Volleyball Tournaments Amazing Teamwork Great Work Girls Derick and Philippe Alex-Anne and Brianna There were 11 grade six students who tried out for volleyball. Mrs. Danielle only chose 6 players for the tournament. It took place on November 15th at St. John’s Elementary School. The girls finished 3rd place in their pool. A John Adam player reaches to make the shot. Six courageous boys went out on the St. John’s Elementary School volleyball court. It happened the 16th of November on a Friday. They were going for an S.S.I.A.A. banner, but unfortunately they won 4th place, which is still good. John Adam girls celebrate after a victory. All the good smashes by Emanuel and Derick were awesome. The good passes by Miguel and Tristan, as well as the awesome bumps by Tommy really helped the team. An unforgettable moment was the block that Olivier did. One player stated, “We looked like professionals in action!” It was their first time going to a volleyball competition. They did pretty well overall. “We made some mistakes, but we learned from them,” one student admitted. The girls lost the first 2 games and won the 2 others. After the games they ate their lunch while watching another team play. Remembrance Day for our country’s freedom in World War I. On August 4, 1914, Canada joined the war that lasted until November 11, 1918. To honour them at our school, we wear poppies to remember the brave soldiers. We also have two minutes of silence on Remembrance Day. We hope that everyone did their part by wearing a poppy this month. We will never forget you, Canadian soldiers. Alex-Anne and Derick It has already been 94 years that we have remembered our Canadians that fought and died December 2012, Volume 1, Issue 3 p. 3 What’s Happening in… Grade 1 Mrs. Linda’s Class La Classe de Mme. Guylaine Kayla and Samantha Brianna and Jessy Mrs. Linda has 22 students in her class. The students have been learning days of the week and months of the year. Now they are learning about Christmas and doing Christmas activities. Their favorite things are reading, set books and gym. This month, they visited the fire station and saw the fire trucks and the controls in the trucks. They saw how fast the firemen put on their uniforms. The firemen gave them candies at the end of the visit. Le thème de la classe de Mme Guylaine est « la famille ». Mme Guylaine a 19 petits élèves dans sa classe. En septembre, ils sont allés cueillir des pommes et au milieu du mois de novembre, ils sont allés visiter les pompiers. Ils ont fait un vote et leur matière préférée est les arts plastiques. La Classe de Mme. Stéphanie Alexia and Chelsea Did You Know… John Adam Memorial School was named after a Delson resident who volunteered many hours in the schools in this town. He was a member of the school council of Greater La Prairie School Board and fought tirelessly for a new school in Delson. His success was realized in 1965 with the opening of John Adam Memorial School. Unfortunately, he died before the decision of building this school was made. La classe de Mme Stéphanie a 6 élèves en première année et 13 élèves en deuxième année. Ils ont beaucoup de petits mots affichés dans la classe pour les aider. Ils sont très organisés et tous leurs duotangs sont bien placés. Nous avons demandé à Mme Stéphanie si c’était difficile d’avoir une classe de deux niveaux. Elle a répondu, « Non, parce que les élèves de deuxième année aident les élèves de première année.» Movember Kayla and Samantha The students and staff of John Adam raised money for prostate cancer all month. On the 30th of November the people who brought in money got to wear a moustache for a day. In total we raised $228.55. John Adam students proudly wear their moustaches.
