Hug a Tree !!!

On Tuesday Randy Antonio from Search and Rescue Manitoba vistied our Grade Two classrooms to talk about "How to Stay Safe " when lost in the outdoors.

Adventure Smart is a national program supported by Federal Grants to the Search and Rescue Volunteer Association of Canada (SARVAC). The programs provided under the Adventure Smart program are designed to promote outdoor activities with an emphasis on safety and proper preparation.

The key teaching points for the Hug A Tree presentation are:
1) Tell and adult where you are going;
2) If you are lost, Hug A Tree and Stay Put;
3) Stay warm and dry;
4) Help Searchers find you.

Students received an emergency kit to use when going on hikes or excursions in the outdoors. It was a very informative session, with students participating and asking some very good questions. Thank you Adventure Smart .

Microscopes,Telescopes, and a "Bearded Dragon" lizard...

What an exciting week! It started with Jade bringing her Microscope/Telescope science kit and then it ended with a former student, Parker, showing us his "Bearded Dragon" lizard! Science Rocks!

We Love You Mom!

Max the Hedgehog...

Hedgehogs make the most unusual  and unique pets,  and on Friday we were lucky enough to have an up close and personal encounter with one. Seth's mom was kind enough to bring his Hedgehog "Max" to spend part of the afternoon with us. To make things even more exciting, Miss Dunsiger's  Grade 1 class  from Hamilton , Ontario, joined us via a video Skype call. Thank you for joining us and asking Seth a lot of really inquisitive questions. Seth did a fantastic job fielding questions, and sharing his knowledge about his most interesting pet. Seth also said that having a pet required a lot of hard work and responsibility, and you should be prepared to look after your pet before you get one. Thanks Seth, our "Hedgehog Expert!"
