~ GAMES! We celebrated with playing games all morning and then cheering on the intermediates as they competed in the Tug of War preliminaries in the afternoon.  

F ~ We took advantage of the hot, sunny weather & headed outside today for some FREE TIME and cooled down with some refreshing FREEZIES!
We enjoyed blue raspberry, cherry, grape & cream soda!

E ~ Jujubes, Runts, Sweetarts, Jelly Beans… 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 today. Drumroll please………
Alexandra, Shimer, Kaitlyn and Tamara from division 7!
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…

C ~ pink, orange, blue, green, white…sidewalk CHALK!
We met up with our Little Buddies in Division 15 and got our creative juices flowing as we decorated Nelson’s cement surfaces with our chalk pictures & writing.

For the rest of the school year we’ll be celebrating each day with a letter, or two. We’ll be participating in activities &/or dressing in something special to make our last month together memorable & lots of fun!
Tomorrow we begin with our stuffed nimals!
