Botanic Gardens...

The students enjoyed learning about different insects and bugs at the UofA Botanic Gardens. We participated in two programs; Going Buggy and Wetland Wonders. The students also loved a game called Camoflauge and the butterfly life cycle relay race! We lucked out and had beautiful weather and, believe it or not, the annoying little mosquitoes were out in small numbers.

Thank you to the parent volunteers who joined us for the day!

The students wrote about their favourite moments and what they learned on the trip with a "Field Trip Wrap Up".

The students took part in the last Wellness Day of the school year. They rotated through four stations throughout the afternoon. Some examples of the stations were healthy snacks, yoga, mindfulness, cooperative games, and positive mindset.

In Language Arts this week, we compared "The Three Little Pigs" to "The Three Little Ninjas". The students filled out another typed of graphic organizer to compare and contrast the story elements. 

The students started writing their own "Three Little Pig" stories by creating their characters. They came up with names, descriptions and personality traits.

In Math, the students worked on...

-deciding on the most appropriate unit to measure length or distance

-comparing measurements in different lengths

The students are really enjoying observing all of the changes that are taking place within our classroom. They have been writing about the daily changes happening to the butterfly, which are all in their chrysalises now. They were also sooooo excited to see their seeds sprout!

We had our Bike Day on Thursday! The students brushed up on their hand signals and practiced their "stops and starts" before heading out onto the course!

Here are the super readers!!!

Congratulations to the new Student of the Week!
