This year, our class has connected with the grade 3/4/5 students at East Kensington Outdoor Learning Elementary School in South Surrey! A few weeks ago we sent our very first story box to share some of the stories of our place! We wrote fall poems using various styles and techniques and bound them in our very first class book! We created maps of our favourite places, and designed games to share our learning this year! We packaged seeds and bulbs to share about our process of planting and careful observations. We shared about our math and the ways we use our imaginations to create stories in place. We even took a photo of our rainbow crosswalk to show how much we value being kind, welcoming, and inclusive. Tell you family about what you created for our story box!

     

We are so excited that the students at East Kensington sent their treasure box to us too! On November 24th we started opening each special item that was carefully wrapped in twine. We have learned so much about the place that our new friends are from! They shared many special items, stories, maps, and photos with us. We were surprised and delighted to see that we have so many learnings and interests in common! Can you tell your family about the special items we received, and the shared interests and activities we have?

 

We were so inspired by each other! We look forward to building our next story box for winter! What do you want to include?
