Math game - Bump!

 On Friday, we had fun learning the new math game - Bump!

Star of the week - Jacob

 We had fun learning more about our friend Jacob this week.  We also enjoyed his trebuchet presentation.  He and his dad built the trebuchet, and we loved seeing it in action!

Pinecone bird feeders

 This week, we learned that pinecones hold the seeds for trees.  It was exciting to watch the closed pinecone open in the warm classroom and drop its seeds.

This week, we also learned that birds eat seeds in the winter when it is hard for them to find other food.

For our October homework challenge, students collected a pinecone on a nature walk.  Thank you to everyone who collected pinecones for this project! We turned those pinecones into bird feeders.

I hope you enjoy watching the birds find your bird feeders in your yard. 

Remembrance Day

 This week, we wrote our thoughts about peace for our Remembrance Day bulletin board. 

Halloween

 Enjoy our group Halloween costume picture! :)  Great costumes, 1SO!

Star of the week - Brodie

 It was fun learning more about our friend, Brodie,

Apple Day!

 On Friday, we wrapped up our unit on apples on Johnny Appleseed Day! We made apple crisp and did an apple taste test, as well as many other fun activities.

Thank you to Brodie's mom for volunteering to help us with our apple crisp!

I was surprised that most students enjoyed the tart Granny Smith apples the best (my favourite too).
