Another fun-filled and eventful week in Division 7 is in the books!

A little surprise has gone home with the kiddos today to celebrate all our wonderful, supportive and fun-loving Dads out there! Wishing you all a wonderful Father’s Day this Sunday.

We have loved exploring various genres of poems. This includes Rebus, Lune, Haiku and Acrostic Poems. Ask your author if they can recall each poem’s framework – which poem has a total of 11 lines? Which poem incorporates illustrations? Which poem is structured around the number of syllables?

As mathematicians, we are exploring the world of measurement. We are no longer looking at non-standard measurement or standard measurement using mm or cm, but rather, we are learning to read temperature(s) as well as the capacity of liquids and measuring perimeter (the distance around something).

On Friday in ADST we had a new and exciting challenge, to design and create a kite that could fly in the sky! Our creative thinkers were up to the challenge! Check out some of the marvellous creations below. We worked really hard on showing expected behaviour all day today that we earned some extra outside time, which also served as the perfect time to FLY OUR KITE!

That Friday afternoon feeling – blue sky, sunshine, fresh air and nature, all the perfect ingredients that are good for the soul.

 

Hard to believe we have one last full week together as Division 7. This time of year is always so bitter sweet. It is tremendously rewarding to reflect on all the growth and learning that has been accomplished together and to see our young learners spread their wings and soar to new heights. However, at the same time goodbyes are always hard to do. We have developed and fostered strong ties in Div 7, so it is not goodbye, but see you soon! I look forward to watching the students of Division 7 grow and flourish here at Parkcrest Elementary. In the meantime I am doing my best to take as many mental pictures as I can to capture these special moments and to get time to slow down so we cherish and appreciate every moment we get to spend together.

Have a beautiful and restful weekend everyone!
