This term I collaborated with Division 3 and we worked on our creative writing skills. Our final project involved choosing a fairytale to rewrite. This idea was based on Jon Klassen’s book The Skull. At the end students learned to bind their books! @burnabyschools #burnabylearns

3D Shape Art in kindergarten today! The kids had such a fun time making their own personal Christmas tree art. 🎄#collaboration #librarycollaboration @burnabyschools #burnabylearns

Some wondeful alternative book reports to celebrate the end of Division 5’s literature circles. #burnabylearns #librarycollaboration @burnabyschools

Students at Chaffey-Burke were so excited to celebrate and make custom booksmarks in the gym at lunch time. What a great way to finish literacy week. #literacyweek @burnabyschools

Ended literacy week with our annual Read-a-Thon at Chaffey-Burke Elementary! 📚@burnabyschools

Chaffey-Burke was so excited to have been visited by local author Cale Boudreau. At our literacy week assembly Cale taught our primaries all about how to take an idea and turn it into a picturebook. #burnabylearns @burnabyschools

Holiday School Sing-a-long! Happy Holidays from Chaffey-Burke Elementary @burnabyschools

Div. 1 learned about how Earth & it’s climate changed over time. Their final project was to create a class zine inspired by their personal inquiry project. The students have done such an amazing job demonstrating their learning in a creative way. #librarycollab @burnabyschools

Celebrated the end of our Literature Circles with Div. 6! As a final project each student completed a creative project and artist statement. We have awards, diaries, dioramas and albums. #burnabylearns @burnabyschools #librarycollab

Continuing our unit on living things by learning about Insects. Div. 23 asked questions, made observations and learned to label. #librarycollaboration @burnabyschools #burnabylearns

Introduced THAT’S NOT A HAT to my Library Monitors and Div. 1. It was a hit. Great social memory game with a bit of bluffing.

As a part of our climate change unit Div. 1 looked at picturebooke. We talked about what would make a good environmental text. Thinking critically about what they read will be useful as they work on their own climate change inquiry projets. #librarycollab @burnabyschools

Look at all those facts. I’m so proud of all the learning we have done these last two months. For our last lesson each student shared out one bear fact and then wrote their own facts for their research 🐻projects. #burnabylearns @burnabyschools #librarycollab

Wraping up reptiles today, learning all about the many habitats reptiles live in and then the Grade 1/2’s made their own animal habitats. #burnabylearns #librarycollab @burnabyschools
