Dear Evergreen Families,

Last week, our students embraced the excitement of the Winter Olympics through a variety of engaging, cross-curricular activities that brought the spirit of the Games into our classrooms and across the school.

Students in grade 3 stepped into the role of a ski jumper, investigating how force affects motion. Using their breath to propel a paper ski jumper, they explored how the strength of the force (the air they blew) changed the distance traveled. This interactive experiment connected directly to science concepts of force and motion, while also reinforcing math skills as students measured, compared, and analyzed distances.

Kindergarten transformed their classrooms into a mini–Olympic Village!  In Social Studies, students explored how athletes cooperate to achieve big goals and practiced being “team players.”  In Math, the medal count became a favourite tool for counting, tallying, and comparing numbers as they tracked Team Canada’s progress.  Students journaled about their own Olympic dreams while building new vocabulary such as bobsled, slalom, ceremony, and podium. In Science, they explored movement patterns, straight, zigzag, curved, and mixed, through different Olympic sports. To top it all off, students created their own Olympic torches in Art, stamping the Olympic rings and designing tissue paper flames.

Students in grade 2 were busy gathering data and graphing information about their classmates' favourite Winter Olympic sports. They also celebrated the Canadian Women’s Hockey Team’s silver medal victory during their snack break!

Our Grade 5 students have been diving into the new Social Studies curriculum with a focus on Ancient Civilizations. As they explored Ancient Greece, the connection to the Olympic Games provided the perfect opportunity to bring history to life. They created sketchnotes about the history of the Games. Then to deepen their understanding, students hosted their own “Grade 5 Mini Olympics,” modelling traditional events, learning about the symbols and traditions of the Games, and, of course, enjoying some friendly competition along the way.

In Physical Education, students across all grades learned key curling vocabulary, such as house, hog line, skip, and end, while developing their curling skills. They explored the difference between a slide and a push, practiced releasing a stone smoothly toward a target, and strengthened their teamwork, coordination, and strategic thinking along the way.

Through these Olympic-themed experiences, students meaningfully combined science, math, literacy, art, and physical education, celebrating not only the Games, but also the values of perseverance, teamwork, and school spirit.

We hope that everyone is up early this morning to cheer on the  Canadian Men’s Hockey Team in the gold medal final.

GO CANADA GO!

Pink Shirt Day:  Pink Shirt Day originated in Halifax, Nova Scotia back in 2008 with two high school aged students that saw a need to be kind while another student was not being treated with kindness and respect. That one act of compassion quickly spread beyond the school.

In 2008, British Columbia’s provincial government proclaimed a provincial Anti-Bullying Day in February, and over time the idea of wearing pink to stand against bullying spread throughout Canada and then internationally. Today, Pink Shirt Day is observed annually in Canada on the last Wednesday of February.

On Wednesday, February 25th, our school will be participating in Pink Shirt Day, a special day dedicated to promoting kindness, inclusion, and anti-bullying awareness. By wearing pink, we show our commitment to creating a safe, caring, inclusive and respectful environment for everyone. It is a visible symbol of support for kindness, inclusion, and respect for others.  Let's stand together, support one another, and spread positivity throughout our school community!
