February 2nd - Feb 6th

We will continue to explore this topic: The Moon/How craters are made/Why they have been there so long/ 
I will send home a moon observation sheet. Look in the night sky and record the shape of the moon. Binoculars will help you see the craters. In the classroom, will be looking for the moon in the sky during the day. *This activity works better when the sky is clear therefore if it is a cloudy week, save it for when it clears. We are also observing outside the signs of spring. We have seen buds on the bushes and also seen the shrub called Heather in bloom.

Feb 23 - 27 Kindness Week

This Week!

The grade ones drew dragons last week as part of our Chinese New Year study. They will be painting them this week. Kindergarteners will be making a class book on the theme of Measurement this week.  On the Kindness Theme:  We will be encouraging students to let me know if someone has been kind to them. We will record our actions on the school bulletin board. At home, perhaps ask : What did you do to day that was kind? Do you know what other kids are doing to be kind?

This Week - Jan 19 - 23

This Week - Jan 19 - Jan 22
Our topic this week is the Moon. Last week we learned that astronauts feel like they are floating when they are on the moon. They have to be strapped in to their beds and even their food can float away from them. We also found out astronauts also do some of their training underwater to get the feeling of being weightless. We will do an experiment in class to help us understand gravity. We will learn about what it means to make a HYPOTHESIS.
