The Milk Revolution Musical Edition



Room 13 won May's Photo Challenge.

 Last week was another busy week for The Milk Revolution.  The Milk Revolution Team caught many students drinking white milk.  There will be lots of new little faces in the dance sequence at the end.  We already know what the song will be.  Can you guess?  Episode 3 began filming last week and parts of Episode 4 are written and the grade 2 students made and sold stickers and buttons.  Kristilyn Robertson stopped by to award our winning group in the Photo Challenge. 

This was the #1 photo from Room 13.

This morning several classes got together to sing "One Glass at a Time (The Milk Revolution Song) by Kristilyn Robertson.  We were supposed to go outside, but it was raining really hard, so we sang in the gym instead.

What about MooTV?

This is a LegoTV sneak peak.

LegoTV cast members are going to dub the voices this afternoon after school.  A new character named Gram-moo will join MooTV to tell some very interesting stories.  We are hoping to release it on YouTube on June 28, 2011.

And then...
Mr. James Hees and Mr. Jake Bradley from CBC dropped by this afternoon.  We were supposed to go a track meet, but it was raining so hard we couldn't go.  At first we were disappointed until we were intereviewed by CBC TV and Radio.  You can watch our interview HERE. We're on almost halfway through.  We are also mentioned HERE.

James Hees and Jake Bradley from CBC stopped by today.

Stay tuned for more from The Milk Revolution!

Mrs. Swelander Has Super Powers

This morning we were sent the article written about The Milk Revolution in the Edmonton Examiner.  You can read the article here.  It is a good article, but we laughed because it says Mrs. Swelander teaches grade 2 and is the principal.  No wonder Mrs. Swelander is so tired these days!  Even though it was a mistake, we just wanted to clarify that Mrs. Swelander teaches Grade 4 and that is all.  However, next year Mrs. Swelander will be moving up to grade 5 with The Milk Revolution students which means The Milk Revolution will be able to continue!

You can follow Jamie Oliver's team at @FoodRevTeam on Twitter

This morning Mrs. Swelander also received a tweet from @FoodRevTeam on Twitter.  They were tweeting out our MooTV address last night during a Food Revolution Twitter party.  We are so lucky to have their support.  It is so exciting to see all the hits from all over the world.  We could not be as successful without their support.

Westglen Students Get "Caught"!
This week we decided to "catch" students in lunchrooms drinking white milk and reward them with a chance to appear in MooTV Episode 3.  And speaking of MooTV Episode 3, it looks like we'll have it ready to go before the last day of school on June 28, 2011.  We've had to do most of our recording outside of class time, but it's been tricky with all the end of the school year events to fit it in.  Needless to say, Mrs. Swelander has needed her super powers this week.



Dallas from Alien In-Line Skating stopped by.

 We Have Wonderful Lunchroom Supervisors!
We shared our Milk Revolution message with our lunchroom supevisors.  We invited them to come into our classroom to learn about what we've learned.  They liked our presentation and even agreed to dance for us in Episode 3 of MooTV.  Our class ilso going to help update the weekly milk orders to help make their job easier and we're going to help out Mrs. Miner handing out milk in the Grade 2, 3 & 4 lunchrooms.

We also appeared on Global TV Edmonton on June 13, 2011.  You can view the clip here.  We appear at the 28 minute mark if you're looking to find it.  Please let us know if the link no longer works.
