with Ms. Lai & Ms. Loungsay
Welcome to Division 12’s class blog! Our first month of school has flown by, and our new kindergartners have settled nicely into their routines.
Last week, we participated in the school Terry Fox Run! After our virtual Terry Fox school assembly, we did some stretching, and then went outside to run some laps on our field.
Thanks to students, families, and friends for supporting our Terry Fox fundraising efforts this year. It was a fun day!
Here are some photos of our walk to the park with Ms. Gourlay’s class. We had a picnic lunch, and then had some time to play on the playground. We also brought the parachute! Thanks for the invite, Ms. Gourlay. The students had so much fun!
Any individual photos of your child will be uploaded to their Blogfolio.
On Halloween, a bumble bee came to our classroom. But where was Ms. Loungsay?
We also had other visitors… a pirate, a fireman, Elsa from Frozen, a unicorn, super heroes and more… But where were the kids from Division 10?
We created a class book all about our costumes!
While we were not able to welcome parents and pass around treats for one another like other Halloweens, our school still managed to celebrate with some fun festivities. We had an outdoor costume parade and went to view the amazing annual pumpkin carving contest. Our students did a wonderful job!
Last week, the pumpkin patch came to our school! Each student chose a pumpkin to take home.
In class, we read stories about pumpkins, including the story, The Very Best Pumpkin, by Mark Kimball Moulton. We discussed how pumpkins come in all shapes and sizes.
We have been learning about chicks and oviparous animals (e.g. animals that lay eggs) this term. With Ms. Gourlay’s class, we hatched some eggs! We had three eggs in an incubator and we looked through a special scope that allows us to see inside the egg. Students completed a Science journal, where they made predictions and recorded their observations.
