Emery!

IT'S A GIRL!

I know many of you have been waiting for a baby Rosowsky update, so here it is! Emery Anna was born at 8:04pm on July 4th. Yes, she was 5 days early. She has lots of black hair and is cute,cute cute! I will post a picture of her when I have a little more time.
We have been very busy changing diapers and constantly feeding her...she sure can eat. We hope to run into you over the summer when we are out and about.
Have a great summer everyone!

Wrapping up the year!

Our school year is quickly coming to a close. We have many events in the next six school days including a play day, meet the teacher day, awards day and a talent show.

Grade 5/6R will also be finishing up some unit tests so good luck and don't forget to study!

Sadly, I will be leaving this week and saying good-bye to my wonderful class but look forward to seeing them out and about over the summer.

Coming to a class near you.....

Our class would like to say a big "good luck" to C.D. who is competing in high jump East Central districts on Thursday!

Columbia students and staff have been working hard to prepare for the production of Oliver Twist. Our class will get a sneak peek next week.

A quick reminder that there is a full band rehearsal on Friday, May 28 in the afternoon. Don't forget your instruments!

Classroom News

Welcome Ms. Myers to Columbia School! She has moved here from Ontario and will be teaching the grade 5/6 class in the afternoons. We are really enjoying having her in our classroom.

Congratulations to those who qualified for the Showcase track meet held last Friday. Great job representing Columbia school.

Grade 6 will be competing in the annual outdoor track and field meet on May 14. Good luck to all competitors.

Indoor Track Meet

Grade 5 and 6 competed in the city-wide track meet Tuesday and I am very excited to hear the results from the day. I'm sure all students did their best and had a great time! I'm looking forward to hearing about the day soon.

Enjoy your break!

We had a few jokers in our class this morning taking part in April Fools Day. It's too bad those students were late because they missed out on all the fun activities we did without them... Luckily, the pranks ended at noon.

I hope everyone has a wonderful Easter and a relaxing break. Enjoy the warm weather and time with your friends and families.

Popcorn Launchers

This week in Science we have been exploring gravity potential energy (stored energy waiting to be released) as well as the Law of Conservation of Energy (the idea that energy is never lost, it just changes form). The students worked very hard constructing popcorn launchers to demonstrate gravity potential energy.

A Busy Week For Grade 5&6

Grade 6 students will be competing in the music festival at the Regional on Wednesday. Good luck and have fun!

Our class would like to send out a HUGE thank you to Mrs. Murphy for donating a microwave to our classroom. We will put it to good use daily.

Throughout this week, our class will be constructing popcorn launchers to demonstrate gravity potential energy...stay tuned.

Go Cougars Go!

We will be cheering on the grade 6 girls and boys as they compete in a floor hockey tournament at Yorkdale on Tuesday and Wednesday this week. Good luck and have fun!

A busy March is under way!

Our class is extremely happy that the weather is beginning to cooperate...bring on the sun!

Congratulations to our two grade 6 members of the debate team. They were recently informed that they are off to provincials in Saskatoon next weekend. Great job girls and good luck!

The quest to create heat energy was a success!

Grade 5/6 R found that they could create heat energy by means of conduction (transferring heat through a solid object), convection (transferring heat in the form of gas or liquid) and friction (madly rubbing their hands together). Great work grade 5/6R!

Heat Energy Experiment

Today we will be exploring heat energy in Science. We are doing an experiment and learning about conduction and convection using water and metals.
