All About Plants

Our kindergarten class has been learning about plants. We have been learning about the different parts of a plant, how they grow, and the importance of plants in our world. We are having a wonderful time exploring and discovering with our friends!

We had a fun couple of weeks learning how to jump rope! Students from Division 3 came into our gym classes and helped to teach some of the skipping stations. For many kindergartners, this was their first time attempting to jump rope. We set small goals for ourselves, and when the skipping was too difficult, it was okay to do some simple jumps.

Thank you Division 11 for participating in Jump Rope for Heart this year! We have a few days left to reach our fundraising goal. Please consider supporting the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada. Thank you to parents and the community for your donations!

Easter Fun

Our kindergarteners had a day full of colorful, creative fun! We kicked things off with a our annual Parkcrest Easter egg hunt in the forest. Thank you to the PAC for organizing it!

Next up, it was time to get artsy with egg decorating! Each child received their very own egg-shaped cutout to bring to life with sharpie and paint. The creativity was amazing — from rainbow designs to polka-dot masterpieces, every egg was unique, just like our little artists.

To wrap up the fun, the kids headed outside for some chalk drawing with egg-shaped chalk. The blacktop became a canvas of Easter joy! It was a day filled with laughter and lots of happy memories!

Enjoy the long weekend with family and friends. Happy Easter everyone!

ADST Exploration

Our little engineers are having fun thinking, creating and solving problems with one another! The Applied design, skills and technologies (ADST) curriculum encourages children to think, design and build. We explore with materials in our classroom that can help us with our ideas and extend our capabilities. We are also able to develop our skills through play and teamwork.

Cherry Blossoms

As spring rolls in, we are getting into the seasonal spirit with a popular classroom activity: cherry blossom craft! Using paper, tissue, and glue, our little artists are bringing blooming branches to life right in the classroom.
