Field Studies
We are very excited for our field study on Wednesday! We now have enough volunteers for that field study!As we have so many field studies coming up forms will becoming out every week. It would greatly help me to have the forms returned as soon as possible so that I can keep on top of them! Studio Bell forms are coming home today. Please return them by Friday. Thank you to all of the parents who offered to volunteer for this trip! We have more than enough!
We are still looking for volunteers for March 10th, and April 1st. In order to be able to take part in these activities we need to have at least 4 more volunteers for both dates. Please let me know as soon as possible if you are able to join us!
Writing
The students in room 8 are hard at work learning what verbs and adjectives are. They are using them to write more descriptive sentences that draw the reader in! They are working towards writing stories about their chosen animals.
Science
As a class we brainstormed all of the different animals that could be found in our 4 countries. Each student was then asked to pick one of the animals that they would like to learn more about. Their task will ultimately be to design and create a model of a zoo enclosure for their animal. We have been watching live cams of different animals and reading The One and Only Ivan to give us insight into animal behaviour and what our enclosures must have to insure that the animals needs are met.
Math
We are still hard at work on multiplication. The students are really understanding the strategies that we have been using to solve the problems! We will continue with multiplication for a little longer before moving in to division!
