IMG_3983.1I had a visitor my last day in the classroom! It fluttered around the classroom for awhile before settling down on the tent. I thought he might be one of the Kindergarten’s or Miss Sam’s butterflies they raised & then let go, but when I traded pictures with Miss Tsakalos it turns out to be slightly different. Was a beautiful temporary guest! CLICK the picture to see pictures up close!

Z ~ One last hour together as 2014/15’s Division 8 Grade 3s – marked our last day together this school year before ZOOMING out of Nelson & ZIPPING into summer! We watched Mr. Gurniak’s fabulous slide show of pictures from this year, we took photos for an upcoming When I Grow Up… post & Miss Watt shared one of her very favourite Dr. Seuss books, Oh, the Places You’ll Go.

Everybody went home with their own imagesFlat Stanley selves & I can’t wait to see all the places that you explore this summer! Love you Division 8, have a TON of fun this summer & I can’t wait to see you all in September!
