Our Dearcroft students have been fascinated by exploring the life cycle of a butterfly first hand. They have been observing caterpillars transform into a chrysalis. And we can't wait to watch the excitement on their faces when the butterflies emerge in the next couple of weeks. 🐛🦋

OUTDOOR CLOTHING
This is a reminder that your child has appropriate outdoor attire every day, as our days are getting colder and our backyard is shaded and can be cooler.
..
This time of year your child may need a heavier jacket or sweater, boots and even light hat or mittens. 🧤🧣🥾
.

Please label all clothing that comes to school.

Yesterday, our Level 6 students had a full day of class #bonding which included a beautiful walk to #downtownoakville, a picnic in the park near #lakeontario, followed by an afternoon of SUP paddling up the 16 Mile Creek.

Thank you to @wendypaddle for hosting our Level 6 students and introducing them to stand up paddling with a twist of mindfulness. SUP paddling offers a fun way to develop skills on the water. Our students had a blast!
