This week, we had the opportunity to study two additional poems from Shel Silverstein as inspiration for our own writing. We hope you enjoy our "I Wish" and "Tired" poems.
The students enjoyed experimenting with watercolours to create their Mother's Day gifts. They were so proud to be bringing them home to you. I hope you had a wonderful (and restful) Mother's Day!
We continue with our daily 30x30 challenge!
This week, students conducted a invertebrate study in the school garden, participated in loose parts play throughout the school grounds and engaged in some raindrop photography. We are loving being outside - rain or shine!
We had another amazing field-trip to Fish Creek Park, exploring the area between Glennfield and Voiter's Flats. the rain held off for the morning, with drizzle starting at lunch and continuing through the afternoon. We had many "I wonder" moments as students encountered a weasel, an area where there was a recent fire, several types of bird's nests, flowers, "beaver trees" and a moth emerging from it's cocoon.
We have two additional field trips to Fish Creek Park remaining:
Wednesday, May 30th - Voiter's Flats to Bebo Grove.
Wednesday, June 9th - Bebo Grove to Shannon Terrace.
If you are able to volunteer for either, we would love to have you along!
Have a wonderful weekend everyone!
Ms. Thomas
