Can you believe we have only three weeks left of school? and three weeks left of this building???? Bittersweet. The art that is happening around the school is phenomenal as we pay tribute to our lovely school. Every child has made a "cube" for our art installation in the main hallway. I saw this installation online and I thought we could do that too! It was an idea by an artist, who calls himself...thank you x...ask your child if they remember the story. We are hoping by the time the walk through on our "say good bye to bayview" openhouse, all the children will have their cubes done and will be a part of the memory wall. Take a look, it will bring tears to your eyes...as will the butterfly wall in our upper hallway. All the children in our class, Ms. Rossignol's class and Ms. Duncan's class our part of this installation. The art at Bayview has just been profound as all the children decorate our school. I can hear children from all the grades say how beautiful our school is and how we should do this to our new school....so...maybe???? I think so too.
This last week has been awesome.
Monday...art at the beach (pictures to follow)
Tuesday....growing chef...we made a stirfry and pea soup (pictures to follow as well)
Wednesday...Deana came in and talked about wild plants and the benefits of different wild plants
Thursday...practiced our song for our Volunteer appreciation Day...which is on June 13th...we hope you can all attend...there are some small breakfast treats in the library and a celebration of everyone who has helped in the gym
Friday....a bicycle safety presentation by Constable Purewal...ask your child if they remember the ABC's
We have been busy.
We have lots of plans for next week as well.
On Monday, June 10th we will be walking to Purple Dragon for our first of two Karate classes. Make sure your child wears good walking shoes and comfortable clothing (no flip flops or dresses) for our classes. Review the rules of behaviour with your child. Please send your pink form with 5 dollars. This 5 dollars will be for the cost of the two lessons as well as for one entry for the draw for the platter. If you would like more tickets for the platter, please send five dollars for each additonal ticket. We will draw for the platter on Friday so that we can give everyone a chance to buy the tickets. With the extra money that we have made we will be putting forth a few choices for the children to choose from...a pizza party, an ice cream party or a high tech high touch presentation. Maybe even all of them...The platter is beautiful and will be a real treasure to one household!
The children have been marvelous at staying focused and working hard.
We still have one Growing Chef class (next week) and for this I need the children to bring in one plastic, empty, with lid on, water bottle. We will be doing a little growing experiment with this. If the water bottle is full...then they can drink the water in class..and give me the bottle. Please have these to me by Wednesday.
Thank you so much and enjoy the pictures.
Have a great day.
