What We Say About Our School

My Best Day at Touchstone...

“The best day I ever had at Touchstone would be when my whole class went to Franklin Farms and we all slept on the huge bunkbeds. It was years ago but I’ll always remember doing treasure hunts and walks with my friends.”
– Starling, age 11

“The best day of Touchstone was when the teacher threw water balloons at us and we threw pies at the teachers.”
– Ciara, age 9

“My best day ever was when we made the masks and the bowls and the fan (Aztec art).”
– Elspeth, age 6

“The day we pretended oil spilled out of the ship and we rescued the ducks covered in oil.”
– Ben, age 5

“The best day is the day I learned the song, Somewhere Over the Rainbow.”
– Madeleine, age 4

“The best day is art and music day because we get to sing and get messy.”
– Mira, age 5

What did you learn this year that you didn't know last year?

"I learned that 100 x 3 = 300. I learned that the wheel and axle is the simple machine that controls the bike."
– Carter, age 6

“I now know all the simple machines – the wedge, inclined plane, screw and the lever. Thanks to Joey, I know them all!”
– Cormac, age 7

If you were the teacher, what would you teach?

“I would teach Canadian history. The Canadian rail road because I think it is really interesting. Simple machines because the pulley is the best simple machine, I think.”
– Carter, age 6

“I would teach our class the Machu Picchu chant.”
– Elspeth, age 6

“I would first teach an hour of medieval history. Then half an hour of multiplication and then half an hour of dodgeball.”
- Alex, age 10

"I would teach about Greece because Alexander the Great lived there and he is very interesting. Also, the gods are very exciting and cool–so that’s why I would pick that theme.”
– Zoe, age 7

“I know how to spell “play” and “Touchstone.”
– Conor, age 5

“I would teach them how to spell words by stretching them out.”
– Ariel, age 5
