We Remember

During the week November 5 - 9, the Grade 2 class completed several activities in honour of Remembrance Day.  

Mrs. Gillander was the substitute teacher in Room 21 one day and she shared her artistic talents with us to help create the stunning bulletin board display.  Cupcake papers were cut and painted for the petals and brads were used to hold them together.  Watercolour paints on special thick paper made a beautiful background. She also had a "Peace" stamp that set off each artwork perfectly. 

We had been working on a list of vocabulary words that relate to Remembrance Day and traditional parts of a service to prepare for our school's annual assembly.

Several children's books with amazing illustrations had helped further discussion and understanding of the topic. 

Learning resources supplied by Veterans Affairs Canada  were used in class and sent home to continue the conversation and reflection at home. 

The Grade 12 class led a program of music and information as a finale to Veteran's Week.  We will remember them.
