Mulvey's M&M's, the Brain and Twitter

Our classroom name was chosen by the students and we are Ms. Mulvey's M&M's. The past few days we have been working together and building a safe classroom community. Part of this team building has been acknowledging and celebrating our differences - our strengths and our struggles. We all have different strengths and we can help each other out with our struggles. One of the activities that we did to acknowledge and celebrate our strengths is create a classroom brain.

Every student has a wrinkle on our classroom brain and they have claimed that wrinkle with their name and their highest multiple intelligence (as determined by a survey). We are all different kinds of smart and as a class we work together to strengthen our smarts and to help each other out with our struggles.
Our Twitter account has been set up and is running - you can follow us at @MsMulveysClass. Students will be tweeting weekly and I will also send out tweets with reminders of swimming, and any other special events coming up.

Welcome Mulvey's M&M's!

The first 2 days of school last week just flew by! There is so much to do and so many routines to get established! Our classroom name is Mulvey's M&M's and we are looking forward to a great year together. This blog has important dates listed, as well as internet games that the students can use to practice their skills. I look forward to working with you all this year! I will post about our Twitter Account as soon as it's up and running!

Time is Flying!

It's hard to believe that in 2 short months this year will be over! We have many exciting things coming up in the upcoming weeks (swimming, track and field, science olympics, etc) So students need to ensure that they are bringing their agenda back and forth to school and making sure it is seen. We want to ensure that you are aware of the many activities that are to come!

Have and Safe and Enjoyable Spring Break!

Well hopefully Spring starts to show it's face during the break! We are finishing our week making some purchases at the Mulvey's Sharpe Shop this morning and watching Percy Jackson and the Sea of Monsters this afternoon. The kids made some truly wonderful Percy Jackson board games this week, so we are celebrating the end of the book and board games by watching the movie and eating treats!

Wishing you a safe and enjoyable break and we will see you on April 7th!

All 4 students did a wonderful job, you represented our school well, we are so proud of you! Special shout out to Jacinda Houle who placed 3rd in the Grade 5-6 category! Well done 5M!
