Volunteers Needed!!!

 This Wednesday morning we have a special artist coming in to teach our class how to do wet felting.  I need a few parent volunteers to come and help us in the morning from 8:15 until 10:30.  Please email me ASAP if you are able to help us out.  It is really fun and interesting to do.  Thanks so much!  

Wear Green Tomorrow!

Conferences

 Hi Parents!

If you haven't had a chance to book a conference with me this week for Thurs/Fri please go online and do so.  I am looking forward to chatting with all of you!

Thanks,

It's March!

It is hard to believe it is March!  

This week we wrapped up our unit "Hot and Cold" in science.  Over the past few weeks we have completed some experiments observing things such as how quickly food colouring mixes with the water depending on the temperature of the water, how blubber insulates a polar bears paw when they are living in the arctic, and watching what happens to an inflated balloon when one is placed in hot water and one in cold water.  Students have loved learning to be scientists and record the data they found.  Ask your child what they learned.

Students also had the opportunity to test their insulation project.  It was interesting to see who's project had ice the longest.  Thank you for supporting your child in creating these projects at home.

We also were fortunate to have Teacher's Pet come in for our field trip introducing our next unit "Exploring Liquids".  Thank you to all the parent volunteers that were able to come and help us out for the afternoon.  

Valentine's Day

 Tomorrow is Valentines Day!

Please have your child bring their cards to exchange with classmates to school tomorrow.

It's February!

 It is hard to believe we are in February already!  This week we have been talking about what makes a good friend.  The students were asked to create a poster that described the steps needed to make a friend.  They were required to include transition words that we have been working on in our writing. 

In Science, we have been exploring hot and cold temperatures.  This week we did an experiment using balloons and and hot and cold water.  We observed the effects that these different temperatures had on the air inside the balloons. Students noticed that the hot water made the balloon expand and the cold water made the balloon contract.  

We also celebrated Lunar New Year.  In honour of it being The Year of the Tiger we drew our own tigers.
