Alberta Science Network

Today, Mrs. Sabrina Lynn, from the Alberta Science Network, came to teach us about animal life cycles.  We were able to see and touch a live example, the mealworm!

Our Caterpillars arrived!

May 22nd - Our caterpillars arrived today!  We're excited to watch them grow and observe their life cycle.

MAy 22nd Day One:

May 27th: Growing Quickly! 3.5cm

June 3rd.  We came in on Monday to find they have made their Chrysalis!

June 4th: Moved to the aquarium

June 5th: Sprayed with water to keep the aquarium moist. You can start to see the wings inside the chrysalis.

June 10th: We have BUTTERFLIES!! Beautiful Painted Lady Butterflies.

Charlie and The Chocolate Factory Dioramas

The students did an amazing, creative and detailed job of building their dioramas!  Well done.

We heard nine presentations today.  We will hear the rest tomorrow. (Stay tuned for the remained of the pictures).

All dioramas will be on display in the library for a couple of weeks if you have a chance to stop in.

This is a very creative idea and the first I have seen!  This student decided to have "chocolate" actually flowing down the chocolate river, live during her presentation.  Here's a quick 12-second clip.

Georgia O'Keeffe-ish

Inspired by the artist, Georgia O'Keeffe the students painted these beautiful flowers.  I took pictures of each flower and printed them in a smaller size.  Then we turned them into lovely Mother's Day cards. 
Check out the beautiful, colourful flowers.
