Thank you to Hudson's family for sharing this beautiful picture of several of our classmates celebrating the Sacrament of Reconciliation.
This week in math we explored 2D shapes. We identified 2D shapes and used them to create art.
Then we transferred our ideas onto paper.
We sorted 2D shapes using two attribute rules.
We also learned about tangram puzzles.
What is a tangram you ask? Check out this quick video to learn more.
In science this week we experimented with magnets to learn about how magnets attract...
and repel.
Alberta Softball came to help us develop our throwing and catching skills.
In art this week we worked on plasticine art and learned about the author and artist Barbara Reid. Here is a video of Barbara Reid working on one of her plasticine creations.
Most of the students are still working on their creation and will be bringing them home to share next week.
I wanted to bring attention to the amount of food that is being thrown out at recess and lunch time. I've spoken with the students about bringing home food that they do not like/eat so that they can have a conversation with families about it rather than just throwing food in the garbage. I have seen sandwiches, without a bite out of them, thrown into the garbage. Full unopened yogurt, hummus, juice boxes, granola bars, pudding cups, fruit cups all put in the garbage. Whole apples and bananas thrown directly into the trash. I have recently observed a significant increase in the amount of food being thrown out. I encourage all families to chat with their children about food waste.
