Macdonald Drive Elementary is proud to once again partner with Vesey’s Bulbs to run a Fall Fundraising Campaign selling quality bulbs and seeds for your garden. Bulbs will be delivered in time for fall planting for lovely blooms in the spring of 2017!

This is a fantastic fundraiser as Vesey’s graciously gives us back half the money raised from all orders collected. We will be treating this fundraiser as a Kindergarten Fundraiser with 50% of all sales going directly back to developing the outdoor component of our program .

The deadline for submission of orders is Friday, October 7th, 2015. Please ensure that all order sheets are totalled and if you have multiple sheets, they are stapled together. Payment may be in the form of cash or cheque, with cheques made payable to Macdonald Drive Elementary School. Bulbs will be delivered to MDE for pick up by families. We will notify you of pick up times once the orders arrive.

MDE thanks you for your support!

Thank You!

Leaf Creatures

After we read Lois Ehlert's book Leaf Man, we made our very own leaf creatures.  We decided to record our very own stories about them.  You can click on the links below to hear our stories.  We hope you like them!

How A Pumpkin Grows

Tomorrow we will be going on our very first field trip! We get to visit a Pumpkin Patch. We found a video about how pumpkins grow.

 

We learned...

Big machines had to clean the pumpkins.
People were harvesting pumpkins.
Pumpkin pie looks yummy!
Pumpkins grow from a seed.
You need special machines to turn a pumpkin into a pumpkin  pie.
Bees have to come to the yellow flower to make a pumpkin grow.
Pumpkins have to have a bath just like us.

We wonder...

Will we see a yellow flower tomorrow?
Will we see a big machine harvesting pumpkins?

A Beautiful Fall Day

Can you guess what we did today? Be sure to have your kinderkid tell you all about it!  Here are some pictures to give you some clues about our mystery activity.

Leaf Man has friends!

After reading Lois Ehlert's book Leaf Man, we decided that he needed friends. We created ourselves out of the nature we collected at Bowring Park and around our neighbourhoods.

Here are some of our Leaf Kinders.  Don't they look great?

Making Sets

We were busy counting sets!  We are experts at showing 5.  Can you make a set of five at home?  Be sure to tell us what you make!
