Today, at the end of the day, the whole school went outside to pick up garbage in our playground and naturalization areas. The good news is that there wasn't much to be found. Thank you to the Grade Fours for this initiative...we look forward to the activities you have planned for the rest of the week!
Our butterflies are now all in a chrysalis (see if I can tell you the other two words that mean the same thing?). They are busy, even though we can't see what they are doing. We are doing research on what flowers butterflies like to get their pollen from and which flowers will grow well in our Zone 3 climate. Let us know if you find some others that we haven't discovered yet. We are doing some planning for our butterfly garden.
We are planning on going on a community walk to Fish Creek on Thursday morning, leaving at 10am and returning for lunchtime at the school. Please email Ms. Watkins ([email protected]) if you can come and volunteer for a few hours that morning. We will be going to look at the environment of insects and look for other small, crawling and flying animals in their natural habitat.
Have a wonderful warm evening,
Ms. Watkins
