Nov. 18


Sorry for the late post today!  It has been an action packed day :)

Today we had a busy morning full of reading, writing, sight words and catch-up work. It was fantastic to see all the students working independently on their work and completing what they needed to complete.  It was a very productive morning.

This afternoon we started some inquiry into our science unit on Liquids. We started today by reading a book Water Can Be... 
This started us thinking about the different forms that water can have, where we can find water, and how water can change.  After this, we spent some time asking questions that we have about water that we hope to answer throughout the next few months. Here's what we came up with:

The hope is that as we answer these questions, it leads us to even more!  We ended science today talking about drops of water.  We looked at drops of water on leaves and on Monday, we will get the chance to use some scientific materials such as eye droppers and petri dishes to explore water even more.  We will use a valuable resource of water that is right at our fingertip through this unit: SNOW!  We will keep you updated what we learn as we investigate this resource more...
I hope you all have a great weekend!
Coming up:
  • Mrs. Jordan away Monday morning
  • Wednesday is Spirit Day - Students will get to wear a colour that they feel should represent Ken Taylor. More info to come..
