Today, I thought it would be fun to do a lesson with fractions... So we baked! It was very interesting to watch and learn from my students! Haha! We had a lot of fun!

Hooray, tomorrow is Hansen Palooza!!
Tomorrow is shaping up to be a FANTASTIC day - all the plans are coming together so nicely and the rain seems to be taking a break during the hours of Palooza. In advance of all the fun tomorrow we wanted to share some updates.
· Pre-ordered All-Day Passes will be delivered to students before dismissal on Friday.
· For those who did not get a chance to pre-order your passes they can still be purchased at the event for $20 each. All-Day Passes allow unlimited use of all inflatables, a face paint, tattoo and henna. Plus many other great things too - an unbelievable value!
· Attached is a layout of the event so you can see where everything will be located.
· In the event of rain, please note that Palooza will be delayed until 4:00pm to allow for last minute arrangements to be made. Classrooms will need to be set up once all the students are dismissed.
· We are excited about the Silent Auction this year, which is BIGGER and BETTER than ever! Items can be bid on and won using cash or cheque. There are some great things to bid on including:
o Landscape 3D Design Gift Certificate (value $2,000)
o Mitch Marner Signed Maple Leaf Jersey (value $500)
o White Blue Jays - Lyle Overbay Authenticated Jersey (value $500)
o Toronto FC Tickets (value $250)
o 5 x Google Home Mini’s (value $80 each)
o Plus so much more!!
· Hopefully you were able to see all of the wonderful Classroom Baskets that have been on display outside the library this week. These are also always so popular! Ballots can be purchased at the event for $2 each or 10 for $15 / 20 for $30. Winning names will be drawn at the DJ booth at 8:00pm. Good luck to everyone who participates!
· NEW this year is pizza which will be available and you can use your tickets to get a slice! The Optimist Club will also be returning for those who prefer BBQ.
· And lastly, we would like to extend a very BIG thank you to everyone who is graciously volunteering their time tomorrow. From RHPS Staff, students, parents and so many others – together we will make this truly a memorable experience for so many! Without you Hansen Palooza just would not be possible!
We are looking forward to seeing everyone there and hope you all have a great time! Thank you for coming out to support this event, which we will help raise important funds for our school!
Enjoy!

Happy March Break!
Hi everyone, I hope everyone is having an amazing March Break! I am, we are up at the cottage and have been playing outside all day, every day... SO MUCH SNOW!!! Yesterday, we snowmobiled to the outdoor skating area and skated, then snowmobiled back. A long beautiful day.
However, I just finished marking the Cricket Assignment. I think some of you forget to READ the expectations. You had to include information about the game, important terms/vocabulary, pictures and your reflections. Not just reflections! There are also 4 people that decided not to hand it in at all! As of right now, you 4 people have a zero! If it is not in by Monday, it will stay a zero.
Have a great rest of the week :)
