Room 3 - 2018 - 2019

What a fun day meeting our pen pals! We braved that rain (thank you parents for dressing your children so well for it!) We had a great time visiting with our pen pals, sketching our pen pal, using a Venn diagram to compare and contrast ourselves and  a little time to play! We then venture back to class and warmed up with some tea! I hope students enjoyed themselves! Huge thank you to our amazing parent volunteer for making  our trip such a success!

Students are coming home with a labelling of caterpillars and butterfly body parts.  Students should be able to explain how the body parts help in their lives. They are also bringing hone some sheets we did while experimenting  In our “Exploring Liquids” student. 

The kids started an art project today. We will finish next week!

                                      The Me to We Club students are organizing an Outdoor Fair for Tuesday June 18 th   rain or shine. The objective of this fair is to raise money for the pillar we are supporting this year: Clean Water/Sanitation in developing countries. The Me to We Club students have organized some very fun games and activities. The Fair Day will be run a little different than in past years.  Instead of paying for each game, we are asking students to bring  a cash donation  to participate. Each class will get a chance to visit the fair. This will be the last Me to We fundraiser for the year. Thank you, Me to We Club

Our caterpillars are now in a chrysalis. It's been amazing to watch! We've been learning so much! Our butterflies should emerge Friday or over the weekend.  Students have been putting some fruit in their enclosure to feed the butterflies when they emerge. We are all very excited for the metamorphosis!

We had so much fun today using our bug  research to create a story! We read "Diary of a Worm" and "Diary of a Spider". These stories were creative but also full of facts. Our stories will include many of the facts from our research but also be creative as diary entries in a day in the life of our bug.

We are practicing 'counting back' by racing to zero. Mrs. Taylor is catching up to the kids!!

Grade 1 and 2 students will be having a Music Sharing Class on  Wednesday, June 12 th   during their music class time. During Music Sharing Classes, students have the opportunity to share something music-related with their peers. For example, if your child takes piano lessons, they could share a piano song they have been practicing. Other ideas include: singing a song they are familiar with Dancing  Bringing a picture of a musical instrument and talking about it All students are welcome to share, but it is not mandatory. If your child is performing, please help them remember to bring what they need on that day (instrument, music, etc) If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact Miss Nair at  canair@cbe.ab.ca
