Our SIGIS Royal Harvey children had a beautiful hands-on learning experience exploring the butterfly life cycle! ππ¦
The children observed the caterpillars through each stage of their transformation, watching with curiosity as they grew and eventually became butterflies. To complete the experience, they took the butterflies outside and released them into nature.
A wonderful reminder of growth, patience, and the beauty of learning through real-life experiences. π

Our SIGIS Muriel Martin children are taking part in a Global Postcard Exchange Project! ππ
The children hand-painted artwork representing Alberta, and now their first three postcards are ready to travel to Germany, Australia, and the USA. As postcards arrive from around the world, the children will flag each location on a world map and watch their collection grow over time.

Exploring Art Through Imagination π¨
Last week at SIGIS Sister Alphonse, the children brought their creativity and imagination to life through art!
They explored and experimented with a variety of materials, including leaves, string, balloons, toothbrushes, sponges, and rollers, using different surfaces to create their masterpieces.
