Pumpkins, pumpkins, pumpkins

Division 12 visited Westham Island Pumpkin Patch today.  It was very muddy but we were excited to choose our pumpkins in the patch.  We also met many animals and learned about some of the vegetables that grow at the farm.  Thank you to all the moms and dads that helped us on this very very muddy day!  We had a great day despite the mud!

School Wide Mural Painting

Division 12 had the opportunity to add to our large school mural and do a little bit of stencilling with Brent.  It was very exciting and we can’t wait to see the mural up in our main hallway!

Have You Filled A Bucket Today?

Division 12 children are bucket-fillers. Have you filled a bucket today?

Identity Representations using Loose Materials

Division 12 had the opportunity to work with Ms. Wong, the VSB District Literacy and Assessment teacher on a Self-Representational Identity project. Ms. Wong talked to us about who we are, and encouraged us to think about what we want to be.  She read us the book “I Can Be Anything” by Jerry Spinelli.

Then we used loose materials to represent ourselves.  We used materials that reveal how we see ourselves and perhaps reveal a little about who we might want to become.  These images are interesting glimpses into the identities and self-reflections of the children in Division 12!

 

 

 

 

Pajama Day

It was just another fun day at school… in our pajamas!!

Richmond Nature Park Visit

Division 12 went to visit the Richmond Nature Park today.  We looked for signs of fall, and learned a lot about the plants and animals that live in the Nature Park. Thank you to all the moms that came out and joined us for our first kindergarten fieldtrip!
