Graeme the amaryllis

Meet Graeme! 

This lovely plant was given to me a couple of years ago by a previous student.  He continues to bloom each year which always amazes me.  I don't have the greenest thumb in town!

Another happy cookie maker

Couldn't leave out this

Cookie Making Collage

Here are more of those happy cookie
makers enjoying one of the most fun
days at the Annex!  And ALL of the
rest of the staff are  ever so grateful to
the many parents who volunteer to make
cookie dough, help the kids make lovely
cookies, bake all the cookies and do ALL
of the cleanup!

Sorting Shapes

In math right now, divisions 1, 2, and 4 have teamed up to explore geometry.  We are discovering lots about 2D and 3D shapes.  They have attributes which allow them to be sorted and compared.  We can see them everywhere!

Our Tree!

I was experimenting with a photo

app that I have on my phone.  And here

is a "groovy" photo of our big tree that

faces Glen Drive.  I think it looks amaz-

ing with this special effect.  This was

taken before the big snowfall and polar

vortex arrived - I'm just so far behind on

posting anything!  I am trying to catch

up but I do apologize for not being a 

regular contributor!

One Super Happy Cookie Maker!

Cookie Factory Day!  How
happy does she look!

Sock Snowmen

Grace's mum came in before Christmas

and helped us make these adorable 

sock snowmen.  They are so cute and 

so easy to make and the kids loved it!  

Thank you Nikki!

Cloth

With Mrs. Barr's help, we made this 

lovely piece of cloth!

Weaving

When Aika was our star of the week, she brought in a beautiful hand-woven scarf she had made with her Nana.  So we asked her Nana, Mrs. Barr, to come and visit the class and show us what weaving is all about.  The kids all got a turn to try out the mini, table-top loom.  It was fun and incredible to watch a piece of fabric being created in a very short period of time.
