We hope you had a reflective and wonderful day of Truth and Reconciliation. We loved spending last week engaging in learning, listening, and reflecting. We loved hearing Indigneous author, Nicola I. Campbell, read her books Shin-chi’s Canoe and Shi-shi-etko on Tuesday and Wednesday. Then we had the opportunity to learn about traditional techniques in Coast Salish art. After our assembly, we found the beautiful stones that Div. 1 & 2 left in the community and forest. We look forward to continuing our learning journey. Be sure to visit our orange hearts on the window of our classroom!

This week, we explored different mediums in representing the flowers that joined our class this week! We hope you enjoyed the bloom your child brought home today!

 

We created self portraits with our loose parts and wrote about who we are after reading a funny story called My Dog is As Smelly as Dirty Socks.

We continued our water inquiry by going on another water walk and exploring the stages of the water cycle! Can you find water on your walks this weekend? Even on sunny days, we found many examples of where water lives!

In math, we have been learning games like “Beat the Teacher” and “Target Thinking” to practice our fluency! Teach your families our new games, and let me know if you want a board game to bring home!

We have started learning about our emotions and self-regulation, using a program called the Zones of Regulation. Can you check in with each other about how you are feeling this weekend?

We hope you have a chance to talk about these snapshots of the last few weeks!

We are thankful for our families and our learning. Wishing you a restful holiday weekend!
