ALPHABET COUNTDOWN
My favourite (soon to be yours too!) time of the school year has arrived!
The ALPHABET COUNTDOWN has begun!
For the rest of the school year we’ll be celebrating each day with a letter, or two. We’ll be participating in activities &/or dressing in something special to make our last month together memorable & lots of fun!
Today we began with A & spent the day with our favourite stuffed ANIMALS!

Easter Eggs!
To celebrate Easter, in the morning Division 8 & Division 12 visited Saint Michaels for our third time this year & sang for the seniors.
In the afternoon, we gathered in Miss Gatenby’s room to decorate & colour Easter eggs. Afterwards we read together before heading back to class.

2014 NHL Playoffs
The Playoffs have begun!
Without our Canucks…
But, that doesn’t mean we can’t still have fun & cheer for a team! In our poll Division 8 chose to follow the Pittsburgh Penguins & we’ve already started to graph their winning ways in class.
Let’s hope the ’14 Penguins can last longer than the ’13 Canucks!
