Tomorrow, January 28th, is the Lunar New Year.  Division 12 celebrated Chinese New Year with Mrs. Lee today.  We painted the Chinese character for good luck and we read a story about a runaway wok!  We also made a special treat that Mrs. Lee and her family eats during Chinese New Year: fried rice!!  Mrs. Lee sent home the recipe for parents who want to try for themselves.  Gong Hay Fat Choy!  Happy New Year!

Division 12 took advantage of the beautiful weather and spent a fun morning catching snowflakes and painting in the snow.  We tried to observe the snow crystals, but snow is very difficult to catch!  Some of us managed to catch a few small flakes and look at them under the magnifying glass.  We had a much better time painting the snow with food colouring. We had a great outdoor exploration time in the snow!

Division 12 had a wonderful time skating at Hillcrest this afternoon.  Thank you to all the parents who volunteered to walk us over to the rink and tie up our skates!  It was a busy job, but we all had so much fun! Enjoy!
