G ~ In the afternoon we had our free choice of GAMES to play with our friends!

F ~ After a wee bit of a wait for our Freezies to Freeze & for the sun to come back out, we headed outside today for some FREE TIME  & cooled down with some refreshing FREEZIES! We enjoyed blue raspberry, cherry, grape & everyone’s favourite, cream soda!

E ~ Jujubes, M&Ms, Jelly Beans, Sours… Count the Candies!!
We spent the morning using referents & good ‘ol fashioned thoughtful guesses to ESTIMATE how many candies were in the jars.

After all the Guessing Jar estimates had been counted, the winners were announced in the afternoon. Drumroll please………

Anna, Cecilia, Trinity & Yi had the closest estimates!
Well done to all Division 8 students for their excellent estimates! Can’t wait to enjoy the candies at another Alphabet Countdown day very soon…

D ~ DINOSAUR books, drawing books, matching games, pattern blocks, posters, toys & more! We spent the day learning lots about dinosaurs, watching a movie in the morning & then doing different dino activities in the afternoon.

C ~ pink, orange, blue, green, white…sidewalk CHALK!
We got our creative juices going & decorated Nelson’s cement surfaces with our chalk pictures & writing. Thank you rain for holding off!
