Division 12

Today we participated in the Stream of Dreams workshop.  We got to learn about Salmon and Water Systems in our community.  We also got to be artists and paint some beautiful designs on wooden Salmon.  You will see them hanging on our school fence soon.  Ask your child to tell you some ways to protect our Salmon.  They had lots of great ideas during our discussion!

Here are a few small changes that we can all make to keep our salmon safe: cleaning up our garbage; keeping rocks, sticks and garbage out of our drains; using vinegar or baking soda to clean rather than chemicals; washing our cars on grass, gravel or at car washes rather than over drains; keeping our dogs out of our streams and reusing containers; and water bottles instead of using throw away ones.

The students in Div. 12 loved sharing their traditional objects with their friends during Show and Tell! This was a great way for them to practice presenting, asking and answering questions, and talking about the significance of their item!

For the past few weeks, the students in Div. 12 have been learning all about graphing in math. Here, they can be seen playing a fun graphing game in partners, where they had to roll dice to see which winter picture would be rolled the most amount of times!

Hello, Div. 12 families! Here are some pictures of our very own classroom Christmas tree! The kids were so excited to paint Christmas ornaments to hang on the tree!

Yesterday, we went on a counting scavenger hunt! The kids had to find

5 leaves, 4 pine needles, 3 small rocks, 2 small sticks, and 1 flower.

Their bonus task was to count how many things they had gathered

altogether. After the scavenger hunt, they went back to class and arranged

their items in any way they wanted. This was a fun way to reinforce

the work we have done so far with counting and writing numbers!

Check out our Jack o lanterns that we made with Ms. Elly and our marble

paint spider webs that we made with Mrs. Rosen.
