What a wonderful day of learning today! The students were so excited about learning more about magnets!  We did a scientific experiment to answer our question: "What is attracted to a magnet?"
Not only did we discover the answer to this, but we started to discover that the magnetic field is strong enough to go through different materials. 
Here are the objects that we tested today. As a family, discuss which of these was attracted to the magnet and why was it attracted or not attracted?  

In math, we continued our investigation on 2D shapes with a focus on shapes in our environment and looking at everyday objects.Today we had two challenges:

1.   Create an object or scene using our pattern blocks. Below are a couple examples. What shapes do you see? Could you have made the same object with different pattern blocks? Why or why not?

 2. Create a picture/object using only squares and circles. I love the creativity with our pictures!  

We will soon be introducing the 3D shapes with a focus on recognizing these shapes all around us and using them to design our own Dream Playgounds for Ken Taylor School.
