As we transition from early fall to late fall (no, this isn't winter!), we have enjoyed our final days with colourful and crunchy leaves, and now are spending all of our outdoor time having fun in the snow. What could be better than making snow angels, looking at the hoar frost on branches, making tracks in the snow, looking for animal tracks, jumping off snow ramps, and our favourite, tobogganing?
Look at these beautiful leaf pictures!
 
We had so much fun designing a face, carving our pumpkin, and pulling out the pumpkin guts!
 
We read about spiders then designed our own webs and made spiders out of
beautiful stuff. Each student's spider was unique, and, of course, SCARY!!!
 
After we made spiders, we had to go out to the playground and BE spiders
Can you spot the tarantulas, black widows, and daddy long legs...?
 
We have enjoyed working with a variety of art mediums. We made plasticine self-portraits,
and did a lovely display of poppies made from recycled plastic bottles for Remembrance Day.
 
 
Our final days with crunchy leaves! Such delight and laughter!
 
Hello snow! We have had so much fun sledding since it started to snow!
In pairs, alone, forward, backward...ALWAYS with squeals of joy and a huge smile!
 
We noticed these tracks in the snow and are pretty sure they belong to a rabbit.
Some students decided to follow them into the bush to see if they could spot a rabbit
hiding in there. We didn't see any critters, but we'll keep looking!
 
 
Fly and be free! We love snow!!
