Y is for YIPPEEE!!! …

~ …It’s the Last Day of School!
We started our day watching the wonderful performances in this years Nelson’s Got Talent and then celebrated with YIPPEE, it’s YEAR END free time!
In the afternoon, Mr. Morrison, Mr. Feng and Mr. Tesan led a wonderful Graduation Ceremony. I was so proud to present the citizenship awards and I hope to be presenting one to you in 4 or 5 years! What a great way to mark our last day full together for the 2021-22 school year.

W is for WATER BALLOON DROP

We joined forces with Division 8 today and competed in a friendly WATER BALLOON drop competition! After choosing our material from a small collection of shoe boxes, cardboard, cups, string, plastic bags, toilet paper rolls, paper towel, popsicle sticks and paper plates, we worked in groups of 3 to design a contraption to protect the water balloon!
It was SO exciting to be on the ground and see the creativity and success of your contraptions!
