APRIL 2021
Happy Spring!
April is Earth Month! During this month, students will be thinking
and doing all things GREEN. This is a time for us to reflect upon our
world, and figure out ways in which we can all protect the
environment. Whether it be walking to school instead of riding in a
Tom Longboat JPS car, or bringing litterless lunches, every action we take can make
37 Crow Trail a difference.

Tel 416.396.6610 The month of April brings with it warmer (and sometimes wetter)
days. Due to our need to physically distance, even when outside,
students continue to wear their masks when playing if they are
closer than 6 feet/2 meters. We continue to encourage students
SAFE ARRIVAL to bring between 3-4 masks and change them after playing
outside. In addition, because of the need for fresh air, we will

Here are the vacation days coming up this month:
• Friday April 2, 2021 Good Friday
• Monday April 5, 2021 Easter Monday
• April 12 - April 16, 2021 Spring Break
School will be closed these days, and as per the TDSB Homework
Policy, no homework will be assigned for students.
One of the ways in which we promote student well-being and
feelings of belonging is through our weekly Longboat Sharing
Circle. Classes take turns each week sharing the work they
Principal completed that week. Prior to the need for physical distancing,
Andrea Chisholm these Sharing Circles took place in our auditorium. Now, we use
technology to have all classes participate from the safety of their
Office Administrator own room. This past month we had some gorgeous artwork
shared from our Kindergarten and Primary classes. We have
included some of their works of art in this newsletter.

TURTLE AT THE POND – Ms. Shnayderman’s Class, K1
This art was inspired by a poem that the class read called “My Little Turtle”.
Students could colour the turtle and make it look fictional (e.g., coloured
stripes, rainbow polka dots) or non-fictional (e.g., colour it green and brown).
Students used markers, crayons and pencil crayons to colour their turtles. By
cutting and stapling the shell, it became 3D. We learned about the pond
habitat of turtles such as the dragonflies that live there and the lily pads that
grow there. Students then sketched a pond, coloured with pastels and
painted with water colours to complete the picture.

CIRCLE ART – Ms. Shnayderman’s Class, K1
Students used a variety of circle objects (e.g., tape roll, lids) to trace and cut
out circles from coloured construction paper. They glued the circles on white
construction paper and used different sizes of circle shapes to trace them with
black pastel. Students then painted with water colours. Finally, they dipped
paper towel rolls in black paint and stamped circles everywhere!
