Today, students began their gym/track combined sessions.  This means that the 1-2E students will be joining their respective grade for track practice, while the opposite grade works with me on a science unit.

The Grade 1s launched their Building Things unit today by looking at buildings.  We concluded that most buildings have: doors, windows, walls and a roof.  Tomorrow we will be taking this knowledge and turning a shoe box into a building.  

The Grade 2s launched their Boats and Buoyancy unit today.  2E fishermen learned that their community of Meteghan has been hit by a horiffic spring snowstorm and that their boats, which they use daily, have been destroyed. Fortunately the government has provided funding to rebuild 3 boats.  So 2E fishermen teamed up, creating boat crews of 2-3.  Over the next two weeks, each crew will be working together to learn about boat properties and create a new boat that floats, carries a load and propels.  

Students completed their Stacked Animal art today.  Stop by our hallway to see them!
