We had so much fun visiting The Canadian Museum of History where the Maples and Lilacs explored the world through play, discovered and played a variety of musical instruments and performed a concert. Thank you to our volunteers! @MmeSteed @TDMcGeeOCSB

What does indoor recess produce? Some beautiful artwork from Kindergarten students (and some other who came to read too!) We love office visits! #DareToCare @MmeSteed @TdKinders

We connected with nature today! In the forest we noticed a variety of trees, insects and plants. Some constructed a shelter, while other discoveries sparked conversations about birds, predator vs prey & trees that were dead and down. @TDMcGeeOCSB @MmeSteed

The ten frame is such a valuable math tool that helps our Maples and Lilacs learn to compose numbers to 10, even outside! 🪨🍃🌼@TDMcGeeOCSB

When a story inspires creativity! This student used found materials in the recycling bin to recreate the catterpillar from @ericcarle’s The Very Hungry Caterpillar. #ocsbArts #kocsb #Creativity

Yesterday, we noticed the lilac tree that we named our class after was in full bloom. It prompted our friends to draw and write about this special tree. @TDMcGeeOCSB
