Enjoy Spring Break!

In LA, we put all of our animal research together and displayed it outside our classroom. The students really enjoyed this project!

We have also been doing group reading of various leveled books. During this activity, the students take turns reading, listening to the different expressions used and then answer comprehension questions independently.

We read poems called Tree Coming Up and The Seed. They brainstormed words that rhyme, together as a class. Then they wrote their own free verse, rhyming poem about spring.

3FT students were picked to sing Happy Birthday to staff member and O Canada over the intercom. They were VERY excited to do this and volunteered to sing O Canada AGAIN!!

In Math, we have continued our practice of addition and subtraction with 3 digit numbers. We are becoming experts in knowing what operation to use, based on the key words in the question. (how many more, how many altogether, how many are left) 

In Science, we completed another Survivor challenge...

We have had horrible luck with the weather on this island. A hurricane is headed our way. We have three days to reinforce our shelter and the furniture we have made. We have a lot of experimenting to do with a variety of material and only 3 days to get it done! Let's work together as a team so that we can reinforce our living space before the hurricane hits!!!

Our conclusion...after experimenting with plasticine, paper clips and pipe cleaners; we found plasticine to be the strongest fastener.

The students really enjoyed building bridges with Peter! They all had the opportunity to build and study 4 types of bridges....arch, beam, suspension and cantilever bridge.
 

 
In Social, we have started reading through our textbook, recording jot notes in our booklets along the way. The students have been very eager to learn about Ukraine!

Thank you for joining us for Student Led Conferences! We were so happy that you could ALL make it and we know the kids loved showing you what they have been learning!!

Thank you to the Houle family for providing us with Dr. Seuss hats so we could share Seuss stories with our grade 1 buddy class. Both classes really enjoyed reading through the various books. 

Our second annual Spell-a-thon was a HUGE success!! Thank you to everyone who supported it! Our class worked VERY hard to learn all 50 words and it paid off! They received the most 100%'s on the 50 word test for grades 1-4! Dairy Queen provided us with an ice cream party to celebrate this accomplishment!
