Dear families,
We've been counting the school days down in class with ice cream scoop pictures and there are only 4 more scoops left!
We finished our inquiry on Canada and all the children's awesome work is in today's mail bag. Thank you to all the kids who have been showing their Canadian spirit by wearing Canada clothes and bringing in flags and books! On the last day of school we will celebrate Canada by wearing red and white!
We watched two awesome videos about Canada = one called "150 Facts About Canada" and the other was a beautiful song by Bran Anderson called "We Are Canadian." We learned "Land of the Silver Birch" and circled the popcorn words in the lyrics. We coloured a drawing of explorer Samuel de Champlain, made and ate beaver tails (easy peasy - just butter naan bread, dip it in cinnamon sugar, and warm up - yum!), and finished our ABCs of Canada booklet! T is for Toronto, U is for Underground (we learned about the Big Nickel Mine in Sudbury!), V for Victoria Day, W for wheat (the kids felt and drew real wheat and learned about what we make with wheat), X is for the Canadian National Exhibition (the Ex!),Y is for the Yukon (they drew the Northern Lights), and Z is for Zamboni!
The children read and drew (SKs) and coloured (JKs) summer words and made Summer Reading Bookmarks as well.
Thank you so much to Alexandra's family who have volunteered to take care of Bubble the Beta Fish over the summer!
In the Computer Lab the kids reviewed the programs they worked on during the year. We got two new computers in our classroom (old ones from the computer lab, actually, but they work really well!) so we have a new centre! Exciting!
I hope you have a terrific weekend. So hard to believe next week will be the last week of school! I am really looking forward to the SK Graduation Celebration on Wednesday!
Mrs. Tyndall
