Leap Year!

We have enjoyed learning about leap years. Do you know why they exist? If not, ask your child because they do! Gev.  Peck’s husband was born on February 29 and he came in to talk to us about it. We also had some fun leaping on our homemade hopscotch board.

Winter gear

Recess has been very fun but very muddy and dirty this week. I will be sending home a lot of winter gear today for some kids that needs a good washing. Please make sure that your kids have a hat, gloves, boots and snow pants back at school for tomorrow.

Global wrap up

Thank you to everyone who was able to come and see the kids’ hard work this morning. I’m incredibly proud of them. In addition to the information that they learned about our world, they have started to learn research skills, different ways to share information including the use of technology and presentation skills.

We had a fantastic morning celebrating the 100th day of school! Check out your child’s homework folder and Seesaw to learn about what we did.

Special Trip

Project Time!

We had great fun and worked hard on a special project for Global Experience today. We can’t wait for you to see it! Your child might have some blue stained hands but I promise it’ll come off eventually ! 🙂

More continents and oceans
