We had a REAL scientist visit our class this week! Students were overjoyed to participate in an experiment with Scientist May. We worked through the scientific method to answer the question, How do different drinks affect my teeth? Children created hypotheses about what would happen to eggs left in Coke, grape juice and water. 

 

On the following day, we made observations, recorded our results and developed some conclusions. Best quote of the week: "I can't believe we're being REAL scientists!" They absolutely loved every minute of this. Ask your child what they learned about maintaining healthy teeth! Thank you May! 

 

 

 

"I learned, don't drink coke or juice or it will make your teeth rotten. Even if you brush your teeth, it won't make them as white as you want them to be. Water keeps them clean and healthy."

To apply what we have been learning about problem solving over the past few weeks, students created their own math stories to share with one another. They had fun coming up with these stories and having their friends try and solve them. Help your child to see that math and numbers are all around us. Try making up some number stories wherever you go! 

"One day 3 birds sat on a tree and 1 bird fell on a branch. How many are there?" 

"There are 3 race cars and 10 more came. How many are there now?"

Your little ones worked very hard on their special gifts for mom. They put so much love and attention into their watercolour paintings and spent a great deal of time writing out their messages of love inside. I hope every one of you moms feels valued, appreciated, loved and adored this weekend. We appreciate you!
