Go Be Kind Bears.

How wonderful to see many of our beautiful Bears as these leaders. You go girls! 💕

Happy Thanksgiving Bears! I hope you are enjoying the long weekend with family and friends. I’m spending as much time in the sunshine as possible. I’m so thankful to be part of such a special school community! See you on Tuesday! Go Be Kind Bears. 💕

What a terrific day we all had!

Clapping games & rock, paper, scissors are classics that our Bears enjoy. There is always great planning involved in the clapping games & laughter in rock, paper, scissors when friends end up with the same gestures. Play doesn’t have to be complicated to be fun! Hannah Beach

Milk crates are fabulous when you are singing with your friends. Next steps….microphones! Hannah Beach

A favourite moment today was seeing these Bears use the falling leaves to decorate the fence. The fence is a fabulous canvas to be creative. Our Bears are critical thinkers and know the power of creative play! Hannah Beach

It’s a pizza and salad with a lemonade. Best restaurant in town! Loose parts outdoors create powerful opportunities to use imagination, problem solve and collaborate with friends. I’m so lucky they invited me to their restaurant! Hannah Beach

We have many Bears very excited to celebrate Diwali next week. 💕

Happy birthday to Mrs Willet. She is an incredible EA. Our Bears all agree that she is so, so, so Kind! It sure is true!

It’s. not just kids that love a new game. Mrs Burguete and Mrs Hignell were all in getting these new light brights open first thing this morning! You’re never too old to play! Hannah Beach

Never underestimate the joy that cool rocks bring! We have many budding geologists exploring each new treasure. When you find one shaped like a heart that is next level awesome! Hannah Beach

Recess is a great time to take time to be creative. Today we changed up the shape blocks and brought out the glass blobs. Call them blobs and kids love that! Watching our Bears loving their play is pure happiness! Hannah Beach

Our Bears made a bowling alley today. It was one of those grown up moments when you stand back and say WOW! It cost me $42 to play. Apparently there was a student price too! Our Bears are working through so many skills as they play. Thank you Hannah Beach for inspiring us!
