Welcome back to our weekly blog!
This week, our UBC Teacher Candidates explored more books by one of our favourite authors, Mo Willems. Some of his books are heart-warming, some teach life lessons, and some are just hilarious!
The children responded to these books by participating in a variety of activities including sharing activities, thinking about how and where they would fly if they could, and eating hot dogs.
Our week was also focussed on Remembrance Day and preparing for the assembly that would honour those who contributed during the wars. We talked a lot about peace and how fortunate we are to be living in a peaceful country.
Divisions 1 through 6 practiced singing "What a Wonderful World" in preparation for the Remembrance Day assembly. Decorations were made to compliment the lyrics in the song such as trees of green, red roses, skies of blue and clouds of white. Here are some beautiful roses in the making!
Here are our trees!
Once complete, all of the decorations were taken to the gym. It was amazing to see all of the incredible art work!
The assembly was emotional and respectful. We are so proud of the children. It wasn't easy to sit quietly for so long but everyone understood the importance of the moment.
We would like to conclude this week's blog by sharing a video of the Remembrance Day artwork while the primary students sing What a Wonderful World. The video has two parts so please be sure to watch both!
Thanks for visiting and we will see you next week.
