We had so much fun learning about states of matter, solids, and liquids, and our science experiment was making slime!
My daughter, Alexis, studies science at the U of A and was home for the week so she was able to come and give us a hand with our experiment!

Thank you to everyone who collected pinecones for the October homework challenge. We used some of them for science investigations and the rest we made into bird feeders for the winter.

For Remembrance Day we wrote our thoughts about Peace with a simple sentence. Peace is...
Some ideas that our students wrote include:
Peace is friends.
Peace is hugs.
Peace is music.
Peace is kind.
Peace is helping.
Peace is a nap.
Peace is giving.
We also made poppy art. We used watercolour to create a vibrant red colour on the coffee filters and real poppy seeds in the middle.
The display looks beautiful in our hallway.
On Friday, we learned about Diwali. Sanjeev shared with us how his family celebrates. We ended the day by creating our grade-one version of Rangoli sand art.
What a fun afternoon! Thank you to the parents and grandparents for volunteering your time to help us with costumes and to all the families who sent party food. We loved sampling the taste of pumpkin in the delicious pumpkin dip. It was a great way to conclude our investigation of pumpkins.
I just love how these pumpkins turned out. First, we drew the pumpkins with pencil, then outlined them with Sharpie. Then, we used oil pastels to colour and shade the pumpkins and watercolour paint for the sky and grass. We have received numerous compliments as people walk by the bulletin board. Way to go, 1S!
