🗳 Student Vote: Learning About Canada’s Federal Election

 

Our class has been learning all about Canada’s federal election! We explored what political leaders and candidates do, and how each party has a platform—a set of ideas and plans for our country.

To put our learning into action, we took part in the Student Vote program. We each received a real ballot, marked our choice in private, and placed it in the ballot box—just like in an actual election.

It was a great way to learn about democracy, how voting works, and why every voice matters. 🇨🇦

Baby Everly's 4th visit

Baby Everly Visits Again! 👶💖

Today we had a very special visitor — Baby Everly came for her 4th visit to our class! She’s 7 months old now and growing fast.

Everly is always so happy — she smiles at everyone and lights up the room! You can tell she absolutely loves her older brother, and it’s so sweet to see them together.

She doesn’t have any teeth yet, but she’s already enjoying yummy foods like pureed carrots, potatoes, sweet potatoes, strawberries, and even chicken!

Everly also loves to play with her toys and explore the world around her. She’s curious, cute, and full of joy.

Thanks for visiting again, Everly! We love watching you grow! 🍼🥕🍓💛

🏛 Monsters in Famous Places

 

This week, we became artists, researchers, and storytellers all at once! First, we each chose a famous structure from around the world—like the Eiffel Tower, the Great Wall of China, or the Sydney Opera House. We researched our chosen landmark to learn what makes it special, then painted it in bright, beautiful colors.
But we didn’t stop there—each of us imagined a one-of-a-kind monster that lived inside our structure! Some were silly, some were spooky, and some were just plain weird. We gave them names, special powers, and backstories to explain how they ended up there.
It was a mix of art, geography, and imagination that made our classroom feel like a world tour—monster style! 🌍👹🎨

Builders in the Making

🏗 Towers and Bridges Challenge!

This week, our class became engineers! We’ve been learning all about building strong and stable structures. Our challenge was to design towers and bridges that met special criteria—like standing tall without falling, or holding weight without bending. We worked in teams, tested our designs, and made improvements to make them stronger.

It was tricky, but we discovered that planning, teamwork, and problem-solving help build the best structures. By the end, we had some amazing creations—and a classroom full of proud engineers!

⛸ Gliding Into Winter Fun

This winter, we laced up our skates and hit the ice! Week by week, we practiced and improved our skating skills—learning to glide smoothly, turn, stop, and even skate backwards.

It was a season full of fresh air, rosy cheeks, and lots of laughter. We’re proud of how much we’ve grown as skaters! ❄️

🪶 Stories and Bannock with Cookem Daisy

We had a very special visitor at our school—Cookem Daisy! She taught us about the history of bannock and how it has been shared for generations. We listened as she told stories about her life growing up and shared her experiences as a First Nations woman.

Her stories helped us learn more about Indigenous traditions, history, and culture. We are grateful for the time she spent with us and the wisdom she shared. Thank you, Cookem Daisy! ❤️

A Taste of Italy with Sophie! 🇮🇹

Sophie gave a fantastic presentation all about Italy! She told us interesting facts about the country, its famous landmarks, and the delicious food it's known for.
To make her presentation extra special, Sophie brought in pizza to share with the class — just like the kind you’d find in Italy! Everyone loved it and agreed it was a yummy way to learn.
We had so much fun discovering Italy through Sophie’s presentation. Great job, Sophie — and grazie for the pizza! 🍕✈️🇮🇹
