Happy Thanksgiving everyone!!!
I hope everyone feasted away and spent some lovely time together!! What a lovely weekend it turned out to be!
I had family visiting from the Kootenays, so we spent a lot of time playing games and visiting, so thus the late blog for everyone.
As I had taken some wonderful pictures I thought, better late than never...so hope you enjoy the pictures of your children and what we have done in the classroom, as much as I enjoyed taking them!
Have a great week!!

Fully alert as they listen to our guest speaker talk about the Mayan culture.

This is Lix (pronounced Lish) who has a mayan garden attached to the UBC gardens.

Lix told us stories about how the corn is grown, and why it is so important to the Mayans. He brought in many coloured corn cobs for us to investigate.

so beautiful!

Thank you for donating to the food bank. Did you know about 10,000 people visit the food bank a week? The little we can do is always appreciated and helpful. We talked to the children about how it is important to give back!

We wrote what we already know about corn. Then we made a wall of the "Three sisters". Ask your children if they remember what the three sisters are and why we grow them together.

Happy Thanksgiving.....I am Thankful for......from the children in Division 12.

Our Corn Display...we are learning and talking about the importance of harvesting and how it is related to our indigenous people.
