Today kids were playing lego, trains, go fish, making art, singing to plants, reading, playing doctor, playing kitchen, and marble run. During centres we learn to take turns, learn to share ideas, communicate, and so much more. We have to share our imagination, communicate and decide on rules together, think about our train tracks and where they&#8217;re going and how to connect the tracks together, build on each other&#8217;s ideas, and so much more. We have to problem solve collaboratively and work together. Students are encouraged to play with other kids rather than on their own. During this time we occasionally have disagreements, get a little wild, but we always have fun and learn.<\/p>\n<p>Videos from Ms. Lo&#8217;s Music Class:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/sd41-my.sharepoint.com\/:f:\/g\/personal\/e21556_burnabyschools_ca\/IgDhw2DGuQzsTpZWKxkY7sJhAb1WbLjJcP39YlPvrE2PRWc?e=vaqdxI\">LINK<\/a><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-2206\" src=\"http:\/\/sd41blogs.ca\/shenn\/files\/2026\/02\/IMG_1096-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sd41blogs.ca\/shenn\/files\/2026\/02\/IMG_1096-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/sd41blogs.ca\/shenn\/files\/2026\/02\/IMG_1096-285x380.jpg 285w, https:\/\/sd41blogs.ca\/shenn\/files\/2026\/02\/IMG_1096.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/> <img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-2205\" src=\"http:\/\/sd41blogs.ca\/shenn\/files\/2026\/02\/IMG_1092-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sd41blogs.ca\/shenn\/files\/2026\/02\/IMG_1092-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/sd41blogs.ca\/shenn\/files\/2026\/02\/IMG_1092-285x380.jpg 285w, https:\/\/sd41blogs.ca\/shenn\/files\/2026\/02\/IMG_1092.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-2207\" src=\"http:\/\/sd41blogs.ca\/shenn\/files\/2026\/02\/IMG_1093-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sd41blogs.ca\/shenn\/files\/2026\/02\/IMG_1093-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/sd41blogs.ca\/shenn\/files\/2026\/02\/IMG_1093-285x380.jpg 285w, https:\/\/sd41blogs.ca\/shenn\/files\/2026\/02\/IMG_1093.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/> <img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-2208\" src=\"http:\/\/sd41blogs.ca\/shenn\/files\/2026\/02\/IMG_1094-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sd41blogs.ca\/shenn\/files\/2026\/02\/IMG_1094-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/sd41blogs.ca\/shenn\/files\/2026\/02\/IMG_1094-285x380.jpg 285w, https:\/\/sd41blogs.ca\/shenn\/files\/2026\/02\/IMG_1094.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/> <img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-2209\" src=\"http:\/\/sd41blogs.ca\/shenn\/files\/2026\/02\/IMG_1095-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sd41blogs.ca\/shenn\/files\/2026\/02\/IMG_1095-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/sd41blogs.ca\/shenn\/files\/2026\/02\/IMG_1095-285x380.jpg 285w, https:\/\/sd41blogs.ca\/shenn\/files\/2026\/02\/IMG_1095.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ms. Shen LOVES centres because it&#8217;s where personalities come out, where students have to collaborate, and where interests form.
