Library Visit And Rain

We had a visitor, Lori, from the Winnipeg Public Library.  She told us about the Summer Reading Program and about all of the reading fun we can have over the break.

We also spent some time outside in the rain.  Our theme was wind, and there was plenty of it!  We made kites and played in our tent.

 

Outdoor Challenge Day 2 - Water

We started our day with Mme Richelle (spirit name Morning Star), of Anishinaabe decent.  She drummed and sang to us and taught us all sorts of interesting words and ideas.

Next we created our water monsters for our river race. We raced against Mme Anna's class out on the hills!

Peek at Last Week

Last week we each got to pick and take home our very own shark tooth.  We compared them to the pictures to figure out which shark we wanted.

We released our beautiful butterflies.  We whispered wishes onto their wings and hopefully they come true!

Outdoor Challenge Day 1 - Shelter

Our first day outside was a complete success. Our theme was shelter, so our first goal was to build a shelter from the sun and heat.

 

 

 

Next, we read a story about birds' nests and went on a nature walk to collect odds and ends to build our own nests.

 

Next, we ate our snacks outside and played a bit before the day was done!
