To end our year, I read my advice to your beautiful children from this book.
There's only one you in this great big world...
I adore your children. I will miss them.
Please keep in touch - truly - I would love to hear from all of you.
The weather cooperated for our last Fun Friday in the park. Not too hot and no rain. Perfect.
Our baby plants are ready to go home!
Your child's baby plant will come home today. They are getting really big! If you have a bigger pot at home your plant will appreciate the space. You can help your child to transplant it- make sure you take a good look at the roots with your child.
We water them every Friday. Caring for another living thing teaches responsibility and empathy.
Enjoy!
Today is National Indigenous People's Day
We learned about a Traditional Pow Wow
Our last Thankful Thursday! You will find the gratitude journals in backpacks today. I hope you take a good look and see the progress that was made throughout the year!
I am thankful for the Olympics
In our learning about the Paralympics today we learned about Soccer, Badminton and Table Tennis.
Today we learned about the torch relay and the lighting of the cauldron that officially starts the Olympics and Paralympics.
Our last Tuneful Tuesday! We sang all of our favourites from our Kindness Song to Baby Beluga and everything in between!
A few kiddos wanted to try holding and playing my guitar.For the Olympics, we learned about, beach and court volleyball, fencing and basketball.
We are designing our own Olympic medals!
Today we read How Do You Know It's Summer?
We talked about the signs of summer and what we do when it is summer.
"This summer I will practice soccer."
I love how they are saying 'yea' because they just scored a goal!
"This summer I will go to the pool."
Sounds like a great idea!
For the Olympics, we learned about the swimming races, synchronized swimming, and cycling.
Our 5th edition of Fun Friday had absolutely beautiful weather!
and I got a manicure. Love those natural emery boards!
For the Olympics, we learned about skateboarding and the athletic throwing events.
One of our Paris Olympic challenges this week was to build the Eiffel tower out of Lego.
Nice work!
We continue to learn about the Olympics!
Today I taught about the medals and the podium ceremony.
Remember! I'm a MUSIC teacher by trade, not an artist. I know the necks are unnaturally long - but I had to fit the medals on without them getting lost on the shirt.
😉
Ask you child what medal you get if you come in first? second? and third?
Today we learned about diving and archery.
For the next two weeks we will be learning about the Olympics. With the Olympics coming up this summer in Paris, we are learning about what sports will be played.
We are imagining that we are in the Olympics...
Today was our last book exchange at the library. Ms. Bossin, our librarian, has asked that all books be returned by this Friday - June 14th.
Such fun at Jump Rope for Heart!
Remember this game? We called it 'Snakey Snakey"
Musical Chairs!
We went on a "field trip" to the library. Ms. Bossin had a surprise for us! She has been raising Painted Lady butterflies and they came out of their chrysalides! We got a chance to visit them.
Tomorrow is Jump Rope for Heart!
