Hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving long weekend! Our class had so many stories to share with each other and their teachers. We used loose parts such as gems, rocks, sticks, wooden pegs etc. to build our story. We took pictures of their stories and then they each told us their stories orally. Our storytellers cannot wait to share their stories with you!
Please login to your child’s blogfolio to see the story they built and ask them to tell you about their story!
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!
Our garden has BEAN growing!
We had a wonderful year with lovely students. Thank you all for your kind words of appreciation, cards and gifts, and for being supportive and encouraging parents!
Have an amazing summer!
From Ms. Lai and Ms. Loungsay
We have been busy collecting natural materials from our Parkcrest forest to make nature art! Our class made pinecone mobiles, nature mandalas (a circular art form that is made using different objects and natural materials) and bugs. As summer is just around the corner, we encourage all of you to continue to collect and create nature art!
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.
We have been learning about plants! We planted three types of beans. We planted the Runner beans and Bush beans in our class planter.
We sprouted the Pole beans in our “sprout houses” (in Ziploc bags). We sprayed water in our bags and taped them to our classroom windows so they can absorb the sunlight. In days, our beans began to sprout! We noticed that the seeds absorbed the water and soon, we saw roots pushing through their seed coats. We documented this and what we have learned in our Plant Journals.
We soon transferred our seedlings to soil in our class planter. Within days, they began to grow, grow, grow! We will continue to water our beans and watch them grow. The Pole beans can grow up to 20 feet tall!
