Tonight I have asked students to keep a tally of everytime they use water.  They should have a sticky note in their agenda with the tallies they have collected so far today.

Snow Day Fun

Some fun artwork. A lesson on perspective.

Sydney creating deep snow angels.

Math

We are currently learning about 2D and 3D shapes in Math.  Students are learning how to describe and compare shapes using terminology like sides, vertices, faces, and edges. They have also learned what makes shapes congruent (same size and shape). 
Below, students were given 20 Popsicle sticks and they had to make three (then four) different shapes using exactly 20 sticks. 




Deep River Orchestra

On Friday the class was treated to a performance and information session about string instruments from The Deep River Orchestra. 

Snow Day

On the snow day the students did some measurement experiments with the newly fallen snow. We had lots of fun learning about density and evaporation.
