Hello families!

I am very excited to share the news that I was vaccinated on Friday!!! I owe it all to a mother of a previous student who told me about a Burnaby Pharmacy that was offering walk in vaccinations. This is one step toward helping our school community become even safer!

Chess Mania

Uk created this amazing chess board a few weeks ago. The students all became interested in playing chess. We were fortunate to find some chess boards at school so the students are very excited to learn and play chess.

Earth Day

We read the story called “The Lorax” this week. The students were very engaged in talking about how we can take care of the Earth and only take what we need from the Earth. They had so many ideas of how we can show gratitude to the Earth for everything it provides for us.

For our art activity, the students created their own special “Truffala” trees inspired by the Lorax.

You can watch the story on Youtube at this link The Lorax or watch the longer movie on Netflix.

We also listened to a lovely story titled “Thank you Earth”. Watch it by clicking on this link:

Indigenous Learning

We had a special lesson from our district’s Indigenous Learning Teacher, Ms. Gamble.  We learned and discussed the reasons why acknowledging the land we live on is so important and learned some special greetings.

and, of course, we had lots of fun building, creating, and playing as always! I continue to be amazed by the creativity of your kids!
