This week in writing we each shared about what we did over the long weekend. It sounds like everyone had a great time! We also continued to work on our writing through literacy centers.
Through literacy centers we are continuing to work on our reading, writing, word work and reading comprehension.
In math this week we reviewed addition and subtraction and discussed what strategy works best for us when solving addition and subtraction questions. We also continued to practice these skills through math centers and with our grade 2 buddies, who came up with questions for us around the school outside with chalk. We had to go find their questions and answer them.
We continued to work on our words of the week we have learned this year.
In science we continued our animal research. We found out more about our animals habitat and the food they eat. We created a page in our visual journal for each of these things to show what we have learned. We also continued to observe our bean seeds. The experiment did not work out exactly as we thought but we had great discussions about why we thought some grew and some did not, even when some of them had the same things added to them. For example, we only had one of our soil, light and water bean sprouts grow. We also learned that when seeds have too much water they can become moldy and that really smells bad!
Reminders:
Next week we have our last two sessions of in-line skating. We will be skating on Tuesday May 28th and Thursday May 30th. Don't forget to bring your helmet and make sure you have socks!
Our leadership club has decided to help the environment by teaming up with Crayola. Crayola has a recycling program for their markers so that they do not end up in the garbage but are recycled instead. If you have any dried up Crayola markers at home feel free to bring them in, We will be boxing up all the Crayola markers we collect and sending them to Crayola to be recycled.
The students in Save the Ocean Club are holding a bottle drive to raise money and awareness to support ocean health. Proceeds will be donated to the Ocean Legacy Foundation, a Canadian organization that supports ocean health initiatives. A trailer will be parked in the parking lot for bottle drop-off from Monday June 10 until Friday June 14. In lieu of bottles, cash donations can be dropped off at the office. We would appreciate any donations that you have!
