More Term 3 for Jaxon

A highlight of learning about Canada has been baking a recipe using maple syrup. We found this delicious recipe for Maple Walnut brownies with maple glaze, in Jaxon's words they were very yummy.



Science is a fun subject for Jaxon, especially when it involves being outdoors. After learning about living things we went on a little exploration outside and he drew many different living things he saw.
