It may have been beautiful outside, but today in 2D, we made it rain! Condensation, precipitation, evaporation were our science words of the day.  Ask your child to explain our water cycle experiment to you.


In math students continued their exploration of repeating patterns and identifying pattern core.  Using a variety of manipulative, they created a number of repeating patterns.  


Miss Mullan lead students in an art project.  They create wax crayon resist leaves using watercolours, crayons and sharpies.  This art project will be on display in our classroom for the next week.


This afternoon, we talked about small moments - these are little, true, things that happen to us.  Students were introduced to the steps to writing a small moment narrative:
1. Think of an idea (a thing you do, a thing that happened to you)
2. Plan (touch and tell, share, sketch)
3. Write (sentences, re-read, edit)
Each student created a short 4 sentences story today that was based on a small moment that he/she experienced.  
WE ARE AUTHORS!!!
