Merci Beaucoup!
Wow. I am sure a lucky teacher. Not only was I blessed to teach your children but you all spoiled me on our last day together 💝 I did not get a chance to thank everyone at the end of the day yesterday but I do want everyone to know that I appreciate all the gifts I got. Between the chocolates, jewelry, flowers, Starbucks and Indigo gift cards, personalized cards and books, cd's, and of course, the very generous group gift, my summer is already off to a great start! Merci beaucoup. I hope everyone has a wonderful summer and I look forward to seeing you all in September.

(Temporary Backup) Robot workshop
*June 11, 2019 (failed upload)
This morning, UBC engineering and science students came to our class to give a workshop on robots. The students learned how to program the robot to move using a coloured marker and then use different coloured codes to make it go fast/spin/slow/etc. The students first made individual ones and then we worked together as a class to made a giant circuit. I took mostly videos but can’t seem to upload them onto the blog. Here a few simple pictures when we were getting started.

(Temporary Backup) Our Garden
*June 20, 2019 (failed upload)
This week we harvested some of our garden. We have so many things growing: carrots, kale, cucumbers, beets, lettuce, and peas. We did some watering and picked the lettuce, kale and beets that were ready. On Thursday, we made a salad and ate it together at snack time. We still have lots of kale that is ready to eat so please feel free to pick some and take it home. You can also come visit our garden over the summer and help yourself to whatever is ready.

Outdoor Treasure Hunt
We did an outdoor treasure hunt with our buddy class today. Each pair was given a sheet of paper with 15 objects to find outside. The students loved it! It would be a great activity to do this summer when you’re out for a walk :)

Le monde est a nous
Here is a link to a song we sing as a school during our assemblies. It is a bit fast for the kindergarteners but they love the song and can sing the chorus. It is a beautiful song about how love makes the world a better place.

OWL
We had our presentation from O.W.L. today. The presenter, Zac, brought in an American Kestrel named Johnny and a Southern Boobook owl named Cricket. The Southern Boobook Owl is native to Australia and was brought in from Smithers where is was someones pet who no longer wanted it. It was so neat to see an owl up close and the students were captivated! They learned so many facts about owls. We even dissected owl pellets and say mouse skeletons. Ask your child to share with you what they learned.
