Our Final FULL Week!

Well the year is starting to wind down and I am really going to miss these kiddos! It is amazing to sit down and see how much they've grown this year! They have all begun to take charge of their own learning and discovery and just blow me away every day.

This week we started off with writing letters to our Grade 2 Teacher's! This was so the students could introduce themselves, talk about what they liked best about school and give next years teacher a little information. However! Whoopsie! Our letters got stuffed in our Kanga pouches on Wednesday! If you see them, would you mind sending them back?

In Math, we spent some time talking about Volume and the space something takes up. To compare the volume of different containers students worked in centers with tubs of water, macaroni and fuzzies to see which containers would hold more or less.

 

In Science, we have been discussing the needs of animals and their types of habitats and shelters. This week we started off learning about all the different types of shelters and where you would find them.


Then in groups, students were given different animal habitats and worked to do a little research project on the animals that live there and how they survive.

And of course, we had a big wonderful day at Miquelon Lake (Minus some pesky mosquitoes)! We spent the morning touring the forest using our senses to taste, touch, smell, hear and see all different things. In the afternoon, we spent some time searching for signs of a beaver! We saw a beaver lodge, beaver trail and trees chewed by beavers! To see all the photos from our day click here.

And last, but not least OUR BOOK SALE! 

Our book sale ran all week, with each book costing 25 cents! After the week, our total sales were $170.00!!!! Which brings our final total to donate to the Stollery up to ....

$875.51!!

I am beyond proud of how our class worked together and would like to thank Mrs. Kiss' Grade 6's for helping us ensure the book sale ran perfectly! A big thanks to all the donations to help our entire fundraiser, from the Leduc Recreation Center, Dairy Queen and of course our Parent Volunteers!

Our cheque presentation to the Stollery will be on Tuesday at our Year End Assembly, at 10:30 am. 

Monday afternoon will be our classroom party!
