Earth Day Clean-up

We went out to clean up our park!

Earth Day

Students helped to create a list of ways to keep our environment clean. Then they created their own Earth.

Data collection

Students asked their classmates "What is your favourite season?" and recorded their results using a tally.

Getting Ready for Easter

The students created an Easter bag in hopes that the Easter bunny will come and fill it with candies!

 

 

We've also been painting Easter eggs:

 



It Looked Like Spilt Milk

After reading the story "It Looked Like Spilt Milk", the students created their own cloud pictures.

They put white paint on the paper, folded it in half and opened it up.

They decided what their "cloud" looked like and completed the sentence from the story.

Sometimes it looked like a _______.
But it wasn't a _________.
It was just a cloud in the sky.

3D solids - roll, stack, slide

The students continued to investigate 3D solids (cube, sphere, cylinder, prism, cone).

They tested each shape and sorted them into different groups.

 

Does it roll?

Does it slide?

 

Does it stack?



Painting with Magnets



Testing Magnet Strength

Which magnet will hold the most paperclips?

We learned that the bar magnet was the strongest because it picked up the most paper clips.  We also learned that just because a magnet is bigger in size, it does not mean it is stronger.

Magnet Hunt

Students explored the classroom to see what the magnet would stick to.

The door:

Chair and table legs:

 

 The file cabinet:

 

The plug:





Magnets

The students discovered what materials will stick to a magnet (certain types of metals) and what materials do not stick to a magnet (wood, plastic).

 

 

3D Solids

We sorted everyday objects by 3D solids (cube, cone, cylinder, prism, sphere)

Story Response

We visited the website www.storylineonline.com and viewed/listened to the story

"Me and My Cat?"

After hearing the story, we discussed what animal we would be if we could change places for a day and what we would do:

The Mitten or The Hat

We read another Jan Brett story called "The Hat".

The students selected which story they liked better.

 

The morning class liked "The Hat".

 

 

The afternoon class liked "The Mitten".

 



The Mitten

I hope everyone had a great March Break!  This is what we were working on before the break.

 

We read the story "The Mitten" by Jan Brett.  Then we did a story retell and discussed Who? What? Where? and When?

 

 

 

Afterwards, we created our own pair of mittens.
