Today we continued our expiration of data analysis.  Students collected data on 2B student's favourite pizza.  Then created bar graphs based on the results.  Students were then challenged to respond to three questions about the data.  This is a fun unit, and students are having a great time with it!!!

It was our final Grade 1/2 assembly today.  

We also completed our Buoyancy and Boats unit with our final Trial.  Congratulations to all of the Boat Crews who were able to create a boat that floats, propels and carries a load.  It is great to see all of your hard work and modifications take shape!  A giant THANK YOU again to all of the families who donated materials for this unit.

Thank you to Ms. Casteel for her assistance in preparing the Rise and Shine binders for next year's class.  It is a daunting year end task and I sincerely appreciate the extra set of hands!  We love this part of our morning routine and looking forward to a new group of students being able to participate in it also.

Trial #2 was very successful!  Today we had 4 crews who's boat was able to: float, propel and carry a load.  Students completed their second modifications today and are looking forward to completing their Trial tomorrow.

We were also very HOPPY for Tasty Tuesday today!  Our Frog-wiches were tasty and fun!  Thank you to Mrs. Curtis for providing the ingredients.  A special thank you also goes out to Mrs. Spottiswood for assembling our Tasty Tuesday Cookbooks.  

Today was filled with special events, as we also had Miss Carol, from the Farm Safety Center come in and give a Safety Smarts presentation today. 2B students learned all about water safety - Boats Float, We Don't!!  Always remember the safety message from Grand One - One Seat, One Rider!

We still have a towel switch mystery that we hope to have resolved.  If your child brought home the wrong blue towel on Friday, please return it to the school.  I have your towel waiting for you here!!

Today we tested our boats.  It was an exciting day for The Captain Sparkles crew and their fabulous Glitter Boat - it was the only boat that was able to float, propel and carry a load on Trial #1.  After our trials, students came back to the class and did a gallery walk, where they provided written modification suggestions to all of the other crews.  Students used the insight they gained from the trial and also the modification suggestions from their peers to make changes to their boats.  Tomorrow is Trial #2!
