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.

Bats

Division 11 had so much fun learning about bats! We discovered that bats are amazing creatures that help our environment by eating bugs and pollinating plants. The class enjoyed reading and looking at pictures of bats, writing what they have learned and making a bat mobile.

 

 

December

December was a short and busy month! We had a fun few weeks of Christmas events, stories, and art projects. From Twin Day to PJ Day, door decorating, ornament-making, and Santa and Mrs. Claus visiting us at our pancake breakfast, we have not had a dull moment!

Happy Holidays to you and your family! Wishing you and your family a restful and joyous season. We will see you in the New Year on January 6th!

November

Sorry for the late post!

In November we talked about the importance of Remembrance Day. It is a day to honour soldiers, veterans and families who have sacrificed their lives for our freedom. Each class made a wreath for the wreath laying ceremony at the assembly. We talked about why the poppy became a symbol for Remembrance Day and we made our own representations of poppies.

 

Here is an invitation to create poppies with loose parts:

    

We painted poppies on our hands

 

We also read “The Peace Book” by Todd Parr and talked about what gives us peace.

 

We recited a poem at our Remembrance Day assembly. Thank you to Ezra’s mom for recording their performance.  We will email you the video 🙂
