Glenmore Reservoir Trip Friday the 11th Gr. 2-6

It was a perfect day for biking - the children did wonderful and the scenery was beautiful! With just a few minor wipe outs we did all right! My group did the whole reservoir which was great - total bike time about 2 hours and 15 minutes, total trip time was quite a bit more than that. The students with smaller bikes did about the same time in hours - just a shorter distance. I was so pleased with everyones efforts. Huge thanks to Nicole and Steve for coming with us - you both were so much fun. We couldn't have done it without you! And thank you Steve for the slurpees after!

K-1 Outdoor Biking

It was a blustery afternoon today! I am surprised some of the little guys didn't blow away. We had a blast out there playing imaginary and chase games on our bikes. Hurray for Parker for figuring out his two wheeler all by himself - well done bud! Everyone else - you were stars as always! Mom and Dad's test your children and see how well they know their bike ABC's and their traffic hand signals - we have been practicing a lot! I have to say it, I totally have the best job in the world!

















Bike Safety and First Day Out! Gr. 2-6

WOW! We had so much fun learning to bike yesterday. I must publicly recognize Miss Mikenna who was able to start her bike ALL BY HERSELF for the first time. We all cheered her on and were so proud of her! We survived with only one major tragedy (see below) - but we all lived! Overall a great day!








Learning How to Orienteer Fri the 4th

Yannick's dad, Eduard, was such a great teacher! With the help of Yannick we learned how to orienteer and the equipment needed. An SI stick, a compass, a map and controls (the flags) are all the things we learned how to use! We were surprised at the stamina needed to finish the course!

Relay Thursday with K's and 1's

Wild coyotes chasing rabbits in the woods! The kids ran so hard I thought they might hyperventilate! Followed by some relay madness - winners were defined by those who giggled the most today. My oh my we had fun! What a delight this group is!

Early Morning Soccer with the K's and 1's!


I'm completely convinced there is no better way to start a slippery Wednesday morning then this!
