Alien Numbers

(told by Tobey)

Students in the grade 2 & 3 class used flats, rods and units to create an alien. Shapes were placed on a blank piece of paper to make an alien shape. After we liked our creation, we traced around each shape. Each of the shapes was coloured and then cut out and glued back together. Other students observed our alien and then wrote down the number of units, the number of rods and the number of flats and guessed the total number represented by the alien.

Take a look. Can you figure out any of these numbers?

Readers Theatre

Readers Theatre is a great way to build fluency and a fun way to read. The beauty is that it requires no props or sets. Children use their voice to portray character and therefore are encouraged to use their voice to read with expression. In January some of our grade 2's made podcasts of their scripts. Have a listen.

Fine Arts Assembly

Students at Henry Braun were treated to a fine display of talent. Performances included dances, fiddle, piano and vocal selections as well as guitar and drum performances. Congratulations to all of our students who performed today.

Podcasts

Some of our students have done podcasts. Our grade 2 literacy groups have been working on elements of a story. They completed story maps and then did podcasts using their retells. View them here.

Here is a sample.

Outstanding Youth Philanthropist Award

Congratulations to Karlee, who received the Association for Fundraising Professionals (Regina) Outstanding Youth Philanthropist Award as part of the organization’s National Philanthropy Day Event on November 13th. Karlee was nominated for the award for her extraordinary leadership and involvement with the Alzheimer Society Of Saskatchewan’s Forget-Me-Not Walk that is held each January. In the six years that Karlee has participated, she has raised slightly over $6,000 in pledges for the walk. With Karlee's help, students are learning more about the disease and are getting involved in their communities to help.

November 6 Remembrance Day Program

Our students did a wonderful job. Thanks to the choir, the Readers Theatre group, our wreath bearers, and all Braun students and staff. The final song sung by the entire school called "Just One Candle" was very moving and left us with a strong message to "shine our light for peace"
