Can you tell us report card week 😑🤪🫣

>this post is "late"

And there are no pictures 🤣

It definitely was an assessment week of watching what and where they went -recording it- and doing last minute checks and assessments!

I also brought out the magnetic tiles marble works I bought that summer with parents gifted cards -which was an instant hit!

Plus a sick day. Concussion healing will forever be the reminder to pause and take care of myself. In a busy season, putting myself last can feel easier and thanks to my concussion last year, my body doesn't allow it to be so easy.

*our science buddies have been busy with EQAO so we have been trying to keep up with our garden's !

Our pumpkin project inside (Pumpkin Jack but we named ours after a peer) didn't decompose! It just became really smelly jars! We decided to plant it outside in one of the gardens so that if it needed more life beyond the jar, we could watch it next year when we are in new classes.

^I loved this conversation because we compared what our jar pumpkin had and was missing to being planted in soil. They quickly detected it was insects (worms specifically) that might need to help out!

We created some cute art that I will share later!

How are we into the teen numbers?!? That seems wild!

✨ Messy. creative. child-led. full of bubbles and belly laughs. 🫧💭

We left for the May long weekend with joy filled hearts that this year was a success! The K-2's had a fun "Bubble Day" of afternoon fun.

They could make their own bubble wands with pipe cleaners and beads, we attempted bubble painting (I never get that to work!), an animal and car wash station, painting, large bubble making with hula hoops and extra large bubble wands made from pool noodles, a tuff tray filled with bubbles and all the old odd and end wands we could find and the biggest hit - our mud kitchen transformed into a potion making station with flowers from !

And there always has to be an area for soccer!

Thanks to staff, we had auto bubble machines to add to the magic of our play day!

🛟this for some end of year magic! For ~100 students it cost us $60 for bubbles, sponges, pipe cleaners, beads, big paper, pool noodles, and bowls. Paint, 5 tuff trays, bubble wands, hula hoops, cars, animals, and paint we already had.

A huge thank you to for the donation of floral to add new play to our mud kitchen!

Wow! The last two weeks of May have been flying by at lighting speed!
