This week we celebrated Juliana as our Star Student!
The students worked very hard building their boats for their science project.
Once they built their boat they had to test it.
Then they got to show off their boats!
We managed to squeeze in some math fact games in between all our boat making.
I was amazed to find out the that nobody in our class likes veggies on their pizza!
We are another step closer to our dessert reward because we earned our banana for our Banana Split Math this week.
We finished out Looking At Places lap books this week. The information we collected will help us as we begin our next project, our community dioramas.
The students brought home a list of materials and ideas for their diorama they are building for social. We'll start work on these dioramas on Monday. The students were very excited to find out which community they would be assigned in the classroom lottery. Below are a few examples of dioramas from past years.
Saskatoon Diorama
Meteghan Diorama
Iqaluit Diorama
At the end of the week we finally got the chance to celebrate the start of 2014 with some goals we have set for the new year.
Here are our finished products. Thanks to Mrs. Matheson at Madonna school in Sherwood Park. Check out her blog at http://sherry-matheson.blogspot.ca Her willingness to share her enthusiasm and love of teaching is an inspiration to me. She's also a pretty cool lady to have as a colleague!
This week we will be celebrating Acadia Day on Thursday so I'm asking the students to dress in the Acadian flag colours. Red, blue, yellow and white. It should be a wonderful day celebrating Acadian culture!
