Whoops, Wrong City Councillor

The local city Councillor is:

​Cllr. Iafrate Phone: 905-832-2281 ext. 8344

Email: marilyn.iafrate@vaughan.ca

Everything Is Something...

...and this is most certainly a flower. (Children lying out of picture as stem and leaves).  

Organizing As One Voice

"Slides are fun. This is sad."

Summer is approaching and the Sliders want to slide. Please feel free to contact your city councillor (with your child) to ask when the slide at the park will be fixed. Strength in numbers.

With The Sharks

A few weeks ago, we went on an underwater expedition using Google Expedition and some Virtual Reality goggles. We went underwater. 

"Why are people walking with the sharks?". 

There are books for that. It may have been 3 weeks later, but that boy's question needs to be honored. So we began reading about the sport that is Scuba Diving. 

"How does oxygen go into there?"

 I'm sure there's a book for that too...

"Can I take this home?" "Nope, we need to see what we can use it for first, then you can take it home."

This is how a student finds her voice. By allowing her ideas to be accepted and built on. Let's see where this "working art" goes today. 

Drowning Soil Update

"The seeds are floating."

"The seeds moved around."

"They are bigger!"

"Ewwwww!"

As we continue to get rain this week, and our friends east of us in Quebec deal with flooding, the impact of "drowning the soil" begins to have real life implications. 

 

Drowning Lima Beans...and planting a Mango tree.

"The seeds moved when we drowned them!"

"They disappear."

"eww."

As for the mangos, the kids enjoy them and so we will learn why they can't grow in our school.
