All the primary students of Parkcrest Elementary went on a fabulous fieldtrip to Aldor Acres pumpkin patch.  Many of us had never been to a working farm before.  One of the highlights of the trip was that we had the opportunity to interact with the farm animals.  

One of the curricular competencies for science (grades 1-3) in the re-designed BC Curriculum is that the students are expected to, “demonstrate curiosity and a sense of wonder about the world.”  I think that all the kids have that down.  Don’t you agree? [metaslider id=2720]  

Division 7 read a book called Wild About Us by Karen Beaumont.  This book is about a warthog who celebrates all of his animal friends and the parts of their bodies that make each one unique.   We felt inspired to create images that show our best parts and why they make us special.

Click on the images to hear what they have to say.

If you keep your eyes open enough, oh, the stuff you will learn. Oh, the most wonderful stuff. – Dr. Seuss

Well, here I am at Parkcrest Elementary with a wonderful class of bright, enthusiastic grade one children. 

I love teaching and I adore Dr. Seuss.  Dr. Seuss was a storyteller in the grandest sense of the word. Not only did he tell fantastical tales, but he believed that each one of us is special and has a creative side just waiting to be explored.  This year I hope to inspire all my little charges  to be the best that they can be and to encourage them to tell their unique stories.

What story do you think we are telling in this picture?

During the school year, this blog will be used to let you know about Division 7’s story.  Please feel free to leave your comments. 

Love, Ms. Gourlay
