Coming back to school was both fun and busy. It also tugged on the heartstrings to have to say goodbye to parents again. Students enjoyed a lovely day outside with sand play. In the classroom, we made 2025 ‘smell and texture’ collages with Ms. O’Neill’s leftover sugary cereal!
This week we’ll learn about the sturgeon through traditional Kwantlen storytelling with Sesmalot at the river. Then when we return to school, we’ll meet our shared class pets…coho salmon eggs! Ms. Bendo’s and our K classes will take care of them and watch them develop over the next 3 months. They’ll live in a tank in Ms. Bendo’s class since we are out of the building some days. We will follow the Salmonids in the Classroom education materials to learn about each stage and how to care for them.
