Fresh Air Friday

What a beautiful day! We enjoyed a special all school visit from Sakokoto in the learning commons this morning. Ms. Boyer thanked him for coming back to Dr. Coffin school for the next five Fridays and presented him with a gift of tobacco and a feather thanking him for sharing his wisdom. Sakokoto shared a old story about the ice melting in the Elbow and Bow river during another late spring in May. Ask me if I remember what he said the ice looked like as it stood upright in the river and what it sounded like!

We added colour to our school sketch and some of us found a timeline on the sign and wrote down some of the facts to help us later. A few of us were weeding the garden learning the difference between grass and plants - everything looks green right now!

After indoor recess we watched a short video about bird songs and how to identify them. It was called "Bird Song Hero" and you can find the link at www.allaboutbirds.org

We then got our binoculars and citizen science books and went for a bird exploration hike. Ask me if I heard or saw any birds. We were very excited to see so many butterflies! So many signs of spring!

Mrs Armour went for a walk by her house the other day and found some animal evidence! What do you think might have happened?

Kasia shared special art that her sister had painted for her when she was little. Thanks Kasia!

Have a great weekend! Enjoy the Spring Dance and Carnival!
