Lever ExplorationWe experimented in creating and testing levers today. Some of us shared and we learned not only about levers but how you can make the lever work better by storing energy with elastic bands...what??!! Ask me how my lever worked and how I would change it to make it better? Splat!FoothillsWe began exploring the landscape of the foothills through photography. We used the images we viewed to help us sketch our own landscape. Readers TheatreWe used our voice to read the script of either Courage, Respect, Humility or Truth. We worked on our tone and fluency, as well as pacing.
February 8- Glenbow Museum Field TripWe are going on a field trip to the Glenbow Museum on February 8th. We are hoping to have some volunteers join us. Please contact [email protected] or [email protected] if you are able and interested in volunteering. Please ensure your Police Clearance is up to date. What is the total cost of our field trip?We are going on a Field Trip and Ms. jenn and Ms Tanya needed our help to finish their paperwork. We used our learning to help them solve how much the trip will cost in total and then we were challenged to figure out the cost per student. It was tricky but we learned we already have the knowledge to solve this problem. Exploring LeversWe are learning about simple machines. There are 6 simple machines and we are hoping to starting exploring how levers work. We need to bring in items from home (with our names on them or initials - so they can be returned to us) that we can use to explore levers. There are 2 parts of a lever: 1) the lever (where the load and effort are placed) 2) the fulcrum (the pivot point of the lever) Simple MachinesWe created temporary posters to share what we have learned about Simple Machines so far. We are all story tellersMake it SparkleWrite what you know and then write it again, and again, and again. We are working on taking our memory and the feeling and making it sparkle. Ask me about the memory I am writing about and working towards making it sparkle. These Are My Words- Read AloudWe have begun reading the Dear Canada novel These Are My Words. It is about a First Nations girls named Violet who attends a residential school in 1966. We are working on making connections and have created a graphic organizer in our Visual Journal to track the story and write our understanding and notes. Ask me about Violet and her school so far? Sound KreationsOur Sound Kreations Residency starts next week on Monday January 15. We are very excited to get movin' and groovin' with Sound Kreations and then share our learning at the end of our time with them. Thank you to Parent Council for supporting the school in this fantastic experience.
