Great Feast and Families

Our Feast Squash.
Students made a sign to remind friends that the squash were not toys!

The seeds of 6 squash weighed the same as 107 cubes!

Thankful for You

 As we prepare for a few days focused on giving thanks, I simply want to say that I am so thankful to work alongside your children each day. Your time, commitment and energy to your children is evident in all that they do - especially their smiles. As a school are so grateful for each family that creates our Willowwind Family. Thanks to all who contributed food and time and for those who were driving and cleaning to make our FEAST successful. 

Birthday Fun

Birthdays, no matter how old, are special moments to celebrate and reflect. For 31 years I have been so blessed to celebrate with family, friends and yummy food. For four years I have had the privilege of spending my birthday with Willowwind Friends - participating in singing Happy Birthday in 4 

languages, Birthday Books and the best present of all...homemade birthday cards. It is the best way to celebrate - surrounded by my students and  teaching community. Thank-you for helping me feel so special.

Ms. Brooke was honored with handmade cards and books
from her students. Thank-you!

A Busy Month

Ms. Michelle takes a break at the
library to read with our K-2 friends

These next few weeks will be busy as students work to illustrate and publish their Partner Books, finish their math unit and continue to learn about Habitats. It will also be a time of working closely together as the weather turns colder and we spend more time in our cozy classroom - reading, writing, working and learning how to be contributing members of any community. The December Newsletter will be available at the end of next week.
