June had finally brought us some nice weather and we have been going outside as much as we can!
With SK Graduation next week and our Kindergarten picnic the week after, it's hard to believe that the year is almost at an end!!
To all parents who made it to our Volunteer's Breakfast this week, I want to say another Thank You! You have done so much for our school and for our classroom!
Just a reminder that next Wednesday (June 19th) the Black Walnut School Council is hosting an End of Year Celebration in our back field! There will be food trucks and ice cream trucks and activities and games! We hope to see you there!
Here are some stories from our week!
Love Boxes
What an amazing turn out of donations we had for our Love Boxes. We were given 1 box to decorate and fill with goodies for a child staying at Markham Stouffville Hospital....But we ended up filling 3 Love Boxes instead! We still had some additional donations that were given to the hospital! You are all so generous! Our class loved making messages and drawings to go in the boxes.
Outdoor Classroom Day
Last Friday was Outdoor Classroom Day! We spent the day in our favourite place! OUTSIDE!! We visited the forest for some nature art and picked up litter. Then we went on a nature scavenger hunt! We found out that the caretakers have a secret garden near their office! We finished the day with some outdoor yoga!
Golden Shoe
Last Friday we also got a great surprise! We found out that we had won the GOLDEN SHOE for the week! This means we had the most kids that walked, biked, or used a scooter to get to school!! We were so excited! We all needed to touch the trophy!
Graduation Practice
This week, the Bluejays began to practise for our upcoming graduation! We're sure you've heard some of our songs! We can't wait to see you next week! So start spreading the news! Graduations starts at 11:30 on Tuesday - but the gym doors will open at 11:00am!
Caterpillars and Butterflies
What a wonderful surprise we had on Monday when we got to school! Our butterflies had all come out of their cocoons over the weekend!! It was too windy on Tuesday to let them out of the net so we went outside Wednesday morning to say goodbye and watch them fly. We all got a turn holding a butterfly up close. It was amazing to watch them fly away! We tried to follow them and some of them landed in our Butterfly Garden!!
Library News
Ms. Dias closed the library for the year. This means we all need to bring our library books in as soon as we can. before she closed the library, we got a sneak peek at the amazing artwork that the Grade 3s made! They have been collecting lids all year and they have used them to create a beautiful mural!
Father's Day
We have been working hard this week to create something super for our Dads! We hope you like them!
Ms. Tamaki's Surprise!
Our fantastic student teacher Ms. Tamaki surprised us this week by sending us flowers! She is so proud of us and wanted to say hi!
