Go Jays Go!

Lots of us are quite excited about the Toronto Blue Jays (Canada’s ONLY Major League Baseball Team) and how well they have been doing in the post-season so far.

One of our classmates, Payton, got to go and see the Blue Jays play in Seattle earlier this year!

Do you watch or play Baseball?

Do you have a favourite sports team? If so, who is it and what sport?

Zack & Ty go to Yellowstone

Dear Mrs. Kostiuk and Class,

We are having a fun time on our trip to Yellowstone.

These pictures show the coolest place we have ever been – inside a cave that went more than a mile underground!

This was in Lewis & Clark Cavern State Park.

We got lucky today and saw an amazing geyser – they are all over the park.  We also saw lots of wildlife – Moose, a black bear, bison, Elk, mule deer, pronghorn deer, and got caught in a pika jam!  Tomorrow we are heading back to the park – Old Faithful here we come!

Here we are at Earthquake Lake on the way to Yellowstone.

Today we toured Yellowstone National Park for the first time – we saw a petrified tree that was 50 million years old and the Grand Canyon of Yellowstone – it was awesome!

See you soon,

Ty & Zack

My Pedagogy

Pedagogy is the science and art of education. Here is a collection of some of my personal highlights over the past two years at our school. I am so pleased to be back at our school again in the fall :)!

 

Ryder in Tobago

It sure was great to see everyone’s smiling faces back at school today! We are missing one though…Ryder! He happens to be in Tobago in the Caribbean.

What did you do during Spring Break?

Have you ever been anywhere in the Caribbean or somewhere hot?

This is me with Lucky and Anna at Qualicum Beach. We got to go in the Pacific Ocean, but not all of the dogs like to swim.

I went to a market with goats on the roof. They stay on the roof where they have a little pen.
