Wishing everyone a safe and happy holiday!  Hope to see everyone on January 4th!

Holiday Fun!




 

Winter animal artwork

The class did an amazing job on this art project!  They learned watercolour techniques and looked at the elements of line and pattern.  





Candy Cane Sleds

 Last week the students built sleds with candy cane runners. We discussed forces (including gravity and friction) and students uses their measurement skills to measure the distance their sled travelled.

Items home

Today a number of times were sent home including some artwork, writing, math and social studies activities.  Next week, all belongings need to be sent home so I am trying to send a bit at a time. Please be sure the items are removed from your child’s backpack. 

If your child will be leaving for the holiday before December 18th, please let me know so I can send their belongings with them on their last day. 

Paper Bridges


A few weeks ago the students created bridges from paper. By simply folding or layering their paper (limit of two sheets) some groups’ bridges were able to support over 100 pennies!
