The Grade Twos this week shared and presented all kinds of interesting family traditions and heirlooms that have been passed down from many generations. This is one of my favourite projects of the year because all of us get to learn so many new facts about who we are and what influences our families have passed on to us. I have video taped each child's presentation. You can see their videos on the Kidblog tab. It was obvious to see how much love went into this project. It was really fun to see how many connections some of the students were making with each others presentations. It was especially exciting to see Brodie's face light up when Khloe was sharing the ceramic plate with a Scottish thistle painted on it, and he made the connection that the stuffy he brought in represented a Scottish thistle too! Who knew they both had a Scottish heritage in common. Have a look at the photos below to see a 110 year old telescope, a song book from 1911, family photos sharing some fun family traditions and some very special stuffies.
We enjoyed another wonderful year celebrating Hallowe'en at West Langley Elementary. Our students had a lot of fun with their family and friends at the annual Hallowe'en Carnival. The games, goodies, cake walk and haunted house were enjoyed by each and every student in our class. What a wonderful school tradition! The students also had a lot of fun carving their own pumpkin. We lite the freshly carved jack-o-lanterns and enjoyed a Hallowe'en story together. Thank you Division 7 for coming to school in costume and prepared to have a fun filled day! "Super Mom" had a great time too! I hope everyone had a fun and safe Hallowe'en!
