Morning yoga
Exercise is a part of our daily routine. For the past 2 months we have been involved in a daily yoga practice. We have been engaged in a seated yoga practice so far and we are really enjoying it. We are learning that yoga helps us to get daily exercise, calms our bodies, and prepares us for learning for the day. Check it out....
Tubing at Cypress
Our weekly trip took us to Cypress. We explored the mountains, went tubing, built a snowman/igloo, and enjoyed the scenery. The Cypress staff was beyond welcoming and supportive of all of our needs: we thank them very much! For those of us who were unable to go tubing the staff provided fantastic 'flat tubes' to help our wheelchairs move around the mountain so we could cheer on our classmates and be part of the fun. The sun was shining and everyone had so much fun which was evidenced by the sleepy lunch we had when we got safely back to school!
The whole group ready to go!

Hot dogs back by popular demand
The students and teachers were asking where the hot dogs were! We brought them back this week. Everyone had a hand in helping from taking pictures of the event, marketing around the school, bringing items to the cafe and cleaning up. Thank you everyone for participating and helping us get plenty of work experience!
NOrth van Sea bus quay
This month we have been continuing to look at different ways to get around in the community. We have walked, took buses and on this outing we saw how some people get around on the sea bus and sea plane. We had a great time exploring the sea bus quay and watching people in transit. We also enjoyed a snack in the sun along the way!
