We have been deeply engaged in some exciting science and art endeavors over the past couple of weeks! Our classroom cricket friends have inspired a great deal of interest in insects and we spent a lot of time this week investigating insects in our very own backyard. 

 

 

 

Students have been exploring many different kinds of science, reflecting on what kind of scientist they would like to be and enjoying some exciting new classroom centers. Our resident science expert, Mr. Hart, has been teaching us about how scientists use microscopes to look closely and investigate living things. We even had a very special science surprise left for us in our classroom on Friday by a very sneaky and thoughtful kindness ninja! Afternoon students will learn about this exciting new addition to our classroom on Monday.

 

 

Children have been applying their number expertise to problem solving activities over the past couple of weeks. This was our latest number challenge: 

Miss Roberts has collected 7 insects. Some of them are ladybugs and some of them are bumblebees. How many of each insect does Miss Roberts have?

 

Our work with artist, Sharon Fortowski, has come to a close and we are so very proud of the incredible self-portraits we have created with her. They're almost complete! Stay tuned for info on when we will be sharing our amazing artwork with you.

 

 

 

 

Classroom Reminders:

Wednesday, May 2 is Hats On for Mental Health Day! Students are encouraged to wear a hat to show their support.  We are asking that anyone who participates donate $2. The money raised will go to the Canadian Mental Health Association. 


I hope you're outside enjoying the sunshine! Have a beautiful weekend :)
