Hello, once again. Please note, our Volunteer Tea will be Friday, June 7 from 10:30am-12:30pm. If you plan on attending, please RSVP me before June 1. 

We had Mr. Todos, our assistant principal and resident Ukrainian :), volunteer to lead our classes in making pysanky eggs and Ukrainian bread as part of our social studies exploration of Ukraine. 

We all had a fantastic time designing, decorating, dyeing, and waxing our eggs. A special thank you to the parent volunteers who helped out all day. We could not have done it without your help. 

Each child had to complete a design chart utilizing different symbols and colours that represented something important to them and to the person to whom they were giving their egg. We used traditional Ukrainian symbols, as well as our own invented symbols. 

Once completed, students transferred their designs to their egg and then undertook the process of dyeing and waxing their eggs. 

Enjoy some of the photos below.

This took the morning. After lunch, we moved on to baking bread. We prepared dough for the next class and baked our own buns and a traditional braided loaf. 

In math, we are continuing with perimeter and area, moving into geometry next week. 

Have a great weekend.
