Leaf Man
The story Leaf Man by Lois Ehlert is about the Leaf Man drifting around and it visited many places and saw a lot of animals. We don’t know where the Leaf Man is going because it goes where the wind blows. After reading the story, we created our own Leaf Man. As the children were building, we heard some interesting stories of where their Leaf Man has gone and what they have seen! A few leaf men went to the beach, some went to Parkcrest school, one went to the states and another one went to a pond. These leaf men can be anywhere! Look around next time when the wind is blowing. You might see a Leaf Man drifting by.
Remembrance Day
In discussions about Remembrance Day, we talked about what peace means to each of us. We talked about how lucky we are to live in a country such as Canada. Students were asked to reflect on what they are grateful for in their lives.
We had a virtual school assembly today. We stood and paused for a moment of silence to honour and remember the men and women who have served and continue to serve Canada in times of conflict and peace.
During the assembly, two of our students brought our class wreath to the gym, as part of the wreath ceremony. We created our poppies by stamping red paint with a heart shaped sponge, and then adding buttons!
Protected: Happy Father’s Day!
Rainbows
In response to the book Ms. Lai read to the class, Share Your Rainbow, we created our own rainbows with crepe paper and used cotton for the clouds. The future is looking bright with these rainbows!
Shadow Art
The gallery was not found!
We took advantage of the beautiful weather and spent the afternoon drawing and painting with light and shadow!

Cherry Blossoms
Cherry blossoms are such a welcome sign of Spring. We are so fortunte to have beautiful white and pink cherry blossoms outside our school! Last week, we went outside and studied these trees.
We decided to paint some cherry trees. First, we painted a dark blackground. We used black and white with shades of gray. Next, we painted the wider tree trunks with thin tree branches. Finally, we used cotton swabs to create different colored cherry blossoms.
