Welcome back! Here's an update on Kind Club's recent Secret Santa for Seniors project. It was a huge success and the residents at Bowview Manor were blown away by the generosity of Rideau Park School and community. It truly made each recipient smile as I delivered their special bag or basket to them. Thank you so much for helping to make this happen! Check out the pictures below..... Happy Monday! Kind Club was full of excitement today while making handmade holiday cards for the seniors we adopted. Please send in items by this coming Friday.
We went over our lists today and made sure each Kind Club member knew who was in their group and what items they still needed to try and bring in. Some students just joined groups today and will be bringing home their lists! Thank you for your support with this project! Spread some good around Calgary with the Spread Good YYC kindness challenge that is taking place this week! Each of us can make a difference :)
We're Alex and Scarlett. We are in Kind Club and we try to spread kindness. Our tradition is to do Kind Club most Monday's. We are collecting items and adopting seniors to give them gifts to make them happy on Christmas.
Thanks for reading! I'm Max and I just made a table out of masking tape. So first I made a square and then I added legs. I rolled tape and kept rolling and rolling it. I had to make sure that all of them were the right size or else the table would be tilting. It was hard to do! I had one leg that was too long and then I gave the leg to someone else and I made a new one. Goodbye! Hi my name is Matthew. Today we made a Tapigami stuff. It's tape that you can make stuff out of. And we drew snowflakes on a big sheet of blue paper with white crayons. Thanks! I'm Zaeden. today I went to the loose parts station and I built an ocean with a police catching a robber and the baby. that's it. also, I am going to go to the watercolor station and paint an island! Bye! Here's the registration link for those families interested in registering for the Friday After School STEM Program with STEM Learning Lab. This is for the months of January and February.

https://rideaupark-edf-january-february.eventbrite.ca Things have been busy in The Space with so many exciting projects going on. Here's a few pictures to showcase our learning and creations! This coming week is #spreadgoodyyc - a 5 day challenge to spread kindness around Calgary. Kind Club will be using this as an inspiration for spreading kindness around our school! Calgary's own Market Collective is coming up over the next few weekends if you're looking for something fun, crafty and maker-ish to check out with your family.
Market Collective’s 10 Year Anniversary + Holiday Market will take place December 7-9 and 14-16. The event series will be held at the BMO Centre for the first time ever, making it the largest and most highly anticipated market to date. Visitors to the family-friendly event can anticipate two weekends of live music, interactive workshops, galleries, food and beverage, over 150 local vendors, and special surprises. http://marketcollective.ca/events/ Thanks so much for the support already for our holiday project with creating gift bags for residents at Bowview Manor! We've already had so many donations and students coming in requesting to help even more seniors. Almost all of the seniors from the list of 83 have been adopted now. Wow!
This project is organized by a lovely teacher friend of mine who I also grew up playing softball with, Shannon Hutchison. She saw a need, had an idea and then made it happen. If you're looking for the Google Doc link with the list of residents and Kind Club members https://docs.google.com/document/d/1QCAensgQ0aBFEcxaDFex4FNNNwoquxU0gGVrJziTcuE/edit?usp=sharing More info on the project is in the previous post from yesterday as well! Thanks again, Mrs.Blanchard Kind Club was full of ideas today when I presented them with our next project - Secret Santa for Seniors with a local centre - Bowview Manor. They were very excited to select a number of residents from this seniors centre and will be bringing in items to make gift bags for them that Mrs.Blanchard will be delivering on December 24 or 25th to the centre! We will also make cards for all 83 residents.
Kind Club was eager to adopt quite a few seniors so here is the list of who we have so far....click on the Google Doc below (created by the organizer of the event, just scroll down for the list) and students names/group leader name will be in the right hand column. There is a list at the top of the Google Doc for the much needed items for seniors such as soap, lotion, chap stick etc that we're trying to collect for each gift bag and also a list for 'fun' or 'special items' that we will also put one of in each gift bag. If the resident has a special item that they are wishing for, it's in a column beside their name. If there is nothing in that column, we will give them a special/fun item of our choice! Please send in all items by Friday, December 21st. There are wish lists in the Google Doc and also copied below too. Feel free to stray from the list if you or your child has other ideas too! Kind Club met in groups and came up with ideas on which member would bring in what items. If your child is unsure on what to bring, have them check in with their group or Mrs.Blanchard. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1QCAensgQ0aBFEcxaDFex4FNNNwoquxU0gGVrJziTcuE/edit?usp=sharing Please let me know if you have any questions - [email protected] Thanks for your support :).
