We Can See by division 9 in Richmond, BC

The grade 1 students in division 9 and their teacher Ms Quan, went for a spring walk in our neighbourhood noticing the natural world around them. The students used the school cameras to take pictures of things that interested them. They walked through our school park and to the pond at the community centre down the street. When they returned, the photographs were printed and the students wrote captions for their images.

We put the images and captions together in a short Animoto video. We hope you enjoy seeing what we can see in our part of the world right now!

We See Nature Walk - Milliken Mills PS

We went for a nature walk this week, on that very brisk Monday morning. BRRR it was chilly.

We had a wonderful walk through our park where we were looking for all things beautiful in our surroundings. We found so many cool things, and would like to share them with you in our movie.

We hope you enjoy!

We Can See... Birds!

My AM and PM kindergarten friends have been very interested in birds, ever since we started noticing the return of migrating robins and blackbirds this spring. One day I suggested it might be time to make our spring version of the "We Can See" books, like we had done in the fall and winter. This idea did not catch on in either class. A few days later, however, a morning friend suggested we could make a "We Can See Birds" book instead. This idea was met with a cheer! Our Voicethread book is growing each week, but the kindergarten friends are ready to share what we have seen so far.

P.S.: We wonder: do you notice birds when you go for walks around your school grounds? Do you listen to their songs and watch them fly?
