My class is awesome! Absolutely awesome. So awesome, in fact, that I need to shout it out to the world, We had such a fun time Friday afternoon at our school-wide dance celebration. There were so many great performances to watch within an atmosphere that oozed positivity and encouragement. It was an amazing afternoon – [...]

This afternoon our entire school is involved in a Dance Celebration. Our contribution is based on the official “We Day Dance” that was promoted as part of the We Day Celebrations across Canada earlier this year. We Day is part of the Me to We campaign sponsored by Free the Children, a Canadian-based organization dedicated [...]

Wherever Trev goes, he brings all sorts of positive energy with him. You can’t help but have fun around him. During the last few weeks, he has kept us hopping wanting to go here … do that … learn this … but we really haven’t minded. He picked a perfect time to be here. It’s [...]

We’re all set to begin practicing our dancing moves once again and of course all of our readers are invited… Now, we need to clarify this isn’t a competition. And if you’ve just turned to your friends and quietly [...]

The Ripplers been exploring some pretty important local and global issues these past few weeks. We’ve needed to stretch our thinking and wrap our minds around many new ideas presented to us. So, today, I thought a few moments of just plain “fun” was in order. I don’t know about you, but I’m definitely more [...]

One of Ms. Rogerson’s first lessons with us was a math review integrated into a PE activity. Yes, you heard right, math and PE combined!

Exciting news, Division 2! The Ripple Effect has recently received its 1000th flag in our flag counter!

Not bad for 4 months of blogging! [...]
