On Tuesday we had a celebration of learning by sending our home project race cars down the track! We had 9 students participate in making a car of their own, using materials found at home. We tested the cars on a ramp, on a smooth flat surface and on the story carpet. No two cars were the same and we had a great time applying our knowledge of forces and motion (push vs. pull and friction) to a real hands on experience with our cars.
Animal Growth and Changes:
We have been documenting what we already know about animals, and what we wonder about animals. These questions will help guide our learning during our Animals unit. Here are some of the students' responses...
Exciting News!
On Friday we had our final QSP assembly and we received a great surprise. Our class won a PIZZA PARTY for selling the most magazine subscriptions! We are very excited! Stay tuned for more details...
Congratulations to Alyssa for selling the second most magazine subscriptions in our school! Good Job Alyssa!
Congratulations again to Merrick who found the lucky golden banana and won an iPad. There were only 10 people who won this prize across Canada! WOW!
Mystery Reader:
This week's Mystery Reader was Alyssa's Dad, Lyle. Lyle read Farley Follows His Nose by Lynn Johnston. Having a Mystery Reader is always a fantastic way to kick off "Fun Friday!"
