April 24/26

Thanks to our volunteers for the field trip to Burnaby Village Museum -  Casey, Chase, Lilac's moms, Frazer's Granny and Caelus parents. Your help and time made this field trip possible!  The students really enjoyed their day and learned so much about what life used to be in like 100 years ago. Most of Div. 13 said their favourite part of the day was the school house and learning to do handwriting (calligraphy) with an ink pen! Did your child ask you why they found milk only in a can (Evaporated Milk) in the General Store? We will be discussing this on Monday.

 

Handwriting Fun!
