F ~ It was one HOT day in Burnaby!! What else do you do, but head outside for some FREE TIME in the sun & cool 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 the next morning. Drumroll please………

Angie, Jagjot, Kihan & Owen 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!

W ~ Well…what was supposed to be
WALKING to the WATER PARK, turned into 2 WET 2 WALK 2 WATER PARK

Instead of Suncrest WATER PARK, we got to enjoy inside activities with the other primary students. In the morning we played games in our classroom & out in the primary hallway & then in the afternoon we watched a movie in the gym! Not a bad 2nd choice!
