Our February Classroom of the Month winner was Mrs. Hildebrand's grade 5 class at Gretna Elementary School. Hannah Dyck nominated the class with this entry:
"We have an amazing teacher! She make things that shouldn't be fun, FUN! We have so many books. I love to read! Our class has a singing group."
And fun was had when Country 88 morning show host Ty Hildebrand visited the class with Classroom of the Month and the many amazing prizes, that the students absolutely loved. A huge thanks to our many sponsors: Alt Marketing, Canadian Fossil Discovery Centre, Aspire Dental Centre, A&W and McDonald's.
So what kind of things does Mrs. Hildebrand do to make class fun? Hannah explained "She let's us remind her about attendance. She puts a gumball in her Gumball machine, and once we fill it all the way up, that means that we got a party. The last one we had, we filled up the Gumball machine and we had like, free gym where we can do whatever we want in the gym. And now we're doing that for every Friday."
We also took the time to read a book, because it's I Love To Read month and the grade 5 students in Gretna love reading.
Thank you to the students for having us out. We also chatted with some of them about valentines and love, and you can hear them below.
