We Can See and Hear Spring in Richmond, BC

Hi there-
Here is our first contribution from Blair Elementary in Richmond, BC near the Vancouver International Airport and walking distance from the Olympic Oval. It is cherry blossom season here and we have been enjoying going outside and observing all the changes that spring brings. Today as we were making observations of "our tree" some spring sounds caught our attention.

  1. Hello,

    We are a class from Markham, Ontario and we were very intrigued to watch your movie. Some of the kiddos in our class have been to BC while many others have not.

    Compliments:

    J. Those are flowers from China - I seen them there.
    G. I like the trees.
    M. I like how you follow the sounds of the birds.
    G.W. I like the cherry blossoms. I've been to Vancouver before.
    M. Me too it's right down the street from my house - I saw that tree.
    D. I like the music.
    G. I like the movie.

    Questions we have:

    G. Is your school big?
    C. What do you have in your playground?
    M. Do you have lots of trees?
    J. Is your school tall?
    D. Do you have birds coming to your garden?
    G. Do you have a birdbath for the birds to drink water and take a bath?
    J. Do you see airplanes?

    Thanks for sharing your world. We will have to look at maps of Canada next week to show our kiddos how far away you live from us in Ontario. We will begin to really look for birds here at are school now that you have given us a great provocation! Thanks again for sharing and we look forward to your answers.
