Trenton went to "Uncle Bill's "cabin  . He travel by snowmobile with his mom dad and brother.

This is Trenton today . He used the wand like the one he is holding.

Trenton" This is my mom me and my brother Keegan. My mom's snowmobile. My dad's snowmobile is right next to my mom.

We can see how deep the snow is.

Jackson went on a holiday with his grandparent to Blue Mountain. He shared his pictures to the class.

 

Jackson shared his holiday. He went on a rollercoaster that had a cover. He went on a magic carpet that would give him a ride to the top of a hill and then he would ski to the bottom.

He also went to a yogurt shop like an ice cream shop. He got to put his own toppings on it.

Wed Feb 15 Word Families

The children and I have been discussing word families. I pinned these words to the curtain for children to learn .We discussed that the end part of the word is the same and that is why it is a family. The children are really catching on and pronouncing the first letters of the word really well. See if you can create word families with your child. When my children were young we would create words in the car or while I was cooking dinner. We would have lots of fun with it.

Wed. Feb 15 National Flag Day.

On Wednesday was National Flag Day

 

On February 15, 1965 our national flag was raised for the first time on Parliament Hill. Every year since 1996, when Parliament declared February 15th as National Flag of Canada Day, we celebrate our beautiful flag.
In 2017, the National Flag of Canada is celebrating its 52nd anniversary. Canadians are invited to celebrate this important symbol of our identity by organizing their own events and by showing their pride on social media.
Take part in the “Share your Moment with the Flag Challenge” by posting a picture or video of you with the flag and inspire others to do the same! #canadianflag
You can use the opportunity of this exceptional year, the 150^th anniversary of Confederation, to express your pride in our magnificent flag.

 

 

We are proud Canadians.
