Science Stations - our Earth / Natural Resources

Today we participated in 3 science activities: natural / man-made resource sort, changing states activity, and a natural resource PWIM activity! 

We loved having Ms. Fedorus back to facilitate these activities with us! 

Enjoy!

Just another day in the life.....

Enjoy chatting with your child about what they learned today! 

Let the Tricks Begin! Happy St. Paddy's Day!

Well as luck would have it, we had a very busy day at school today, after Lucky the Leprechaun did a few sneaky tricks on us... Let's just say that some of us will be soaking our green toes tonight!!!

Enjoy looking at these Grade 1 Shenanigans! 

Lucky sure left a mess in here!

And by mess... I mean, real MESS!!! Can you find Quynn's shoes?!

Next he shrunk our hats and left us treasure of gold and magic rocks! 

But he left Oakley a little extra!!! Yikes!

And then Isaac... had a sneaky note! And it led to some magical experiments!

We put our leprechaun rocks into the Magic potion and stuff got crazy!!

You wouldn't believe it.... Seriously... But then gold appeared in the magic potion. One gold coin for every boy and girl in Room A!! 

The leprechaun even brought us a treasure... But it took some treasure hunting to find it. We worked as a team and followed the clues! 

Finally, we found a pot of gold!

And then... came the leprechaun juice. 

I should have known better. The boys and girls warned me not to drink it....

Well... I guess I'll follow the warnings from now on...

Oh NO!!!

But how can I be mad?! There was just too much fun to be had! 

I hope today is a day that our students remember for years to come!

Thanks for believing boys & girls! Life is a whole lot sweeter and greener with you in it!

We are Geologists

Today we began our latest and most exciting unit. We are very exited to begin studying the Earth! During this unit, we will study rocks and minerals. We will be learning geologists as we excavate chocolate chips from cookies, grow our own rocks, and learn scientific words! We will also study how we can take care of our Earth as we look at what the Earth is made up of! Follow us on our learning journey! Rock on everybody!! 

Here are some pictures of our exciting Rock Stations! A big thank you to Ms. Fedorus for coming to help us learn! 

Using the proscope! 

We have a few new pet Rocks! Can you find yours?

We used illuminated microscopes and magnifying glasses too! 

Ma'Moon made a pet rock! 

Lily did too!

Ms. Fedorus led a very scientific rock analysis! It was wet and colourful!

Sorting by Colors! Ask your child what happened when the rocks got wet!

Mrs. Varley helped us sort rocks by size!

So much to see and do!
