Fire Building

After spending time in woods learning which type of branches make the best kindling (look up for trees with needles and break off their tiny, dead, lower branches), we headed down to the beach.  Mrs. Davis carefully went through the steps to make a survival fire using birch bark and twigs and how to light a match. The students followed all of the safety rules and everyone managed to make their own fire.  They created just enough heat to roast a marshmallow!  We finished by tidying up the area and being sure we left only footprints!

Book Orders

Scholastic book orders are due tomorrow.

Science Fair

Congratulations to Chloe and Cohen who participated in the Science Fair today!  It was a lot of work but their projects were well received by students, staff and judges.

Tropical/Tourist Day Friday!

Owl Pellets

Today, we dissected owl pellets with Mrs. Bubbles.  The students showed great patience, taking their time to reveal all the bones.

 

Pink Shirt Day

Tomorrow, Wednesday, is Pink Shirt Day.  The pink shirts symbolize that bullying is not tolerated.  

Snowshoes!

Last week students realized the importance of snowshoes when travelling through deep snow.  It was a hard walk even with snowshoes on (especially trying to get over the high banks)!  We were amazed to see how deep some of our trees were covered with snow.  We discovered a tree that had exploded in the cold temperatures!
