To build community as the students settle into the classroom, they have engaged in a number of challenges. The students chose different classmates to experience working with a variety of people. One of the challenges involved working together to save a gummy worm from the water. The kids used paper clips to get a lifepreserver onto the worm. The other challenges required groups to build the largest tower they could using a variety of materials. So far one group was able to build an 80 cm tower using spaghetti, marshmallows and tape.
Next week we will continue to learn about living creatures in a wetland environment in preparation for the field trip to Heritage Park. In Math, the focus is on place value up to 1 000 000. Mapping skills such as learning about direction, longitute/latitude, symbols etc. is the focus of Social Studies. During Language Arts, students have been using their senses to describe their favourite activity or an event from their summer vacation.
