Bubble Painting 🎨
Sunny weather calls for bubbles… With a twist! We added food colouring to bubble solution and we were “blown away” by the results! 🌬️
Math Workshop: Stations
We are becoming strong mathematicians in Division 19! We can sort, pattern, count, print numbers, and play number games with dice. Next up: exploring measurement!
Plasticine Stories
Division 19 was inspired by the Literacy Day Zoom visit with Canadian author/artist, Barbara Reid. We drew up drafts and then attempted to sculpt them into plasticine stories. It was really hard!
Happy Pink Shirt Day!
