Today was an exciting, mixed up day. We started out normally with guided reading and centers but then, instead of story writing we worked on our science reflections from yesterday. Before we got to work Evelyn shared some boat research she did at home. She was wondering about the reasons why huge ships like cruise ships can float. She found out that they can float because they displace a lot of water so even though they are very heavy, they water they displace is even heavier! Evelyn also introduced us to the word buoyancy. Ask me to tell you what it means!
After recess things were even more mixed up. We did gym and music! In gym we played two new games. The first game was called catch and chase. The second game was called Ups and Downs. In music we practiced our patterns and smartboard game called poison patterns.
This afternoon we had Clay for Kids! We each got to make a piece of art that showed symbols of Canada. Some of us showed canadian geese, maple leafs, Rocky Mountains, hockey sticks, canoes, pine trees, inukshuks, beavers, and moose. It will take about three weeks for the clay to be fired and glazed.
Our helper tomorrow is: Isabel.
Remember our new category is favourite animal. When it is your turn please try to bring a picture, drawing, or stuffy of your animal and some facts about the animal.
We are hoping to go to Nosehill on Friday. We will need 2 volunteers in order to be able to go. If you are able to volunteer please contact Ms. Boyer.
