Open House

We would like to invite all of our families to the Allan A.Greenleaf Open House next Thursday, May 5th from 5:30-7:00 pm.  Come and see your child's classroom and let them give you a tour of their work!  

 

Thursday morning

We had a very busy morning. Many different activities were happening. We had builders, artists, writers, and readers. 

Let's try again!

We have now been given another date for Scientists in School!  Our scientist will arrive first thing Monday morning on May 9th.  Let's try again😊

Building structures

Today some students were busy building structures. The wooden beams became a fence, they carefully stepped over each beam. Great team work, turn taking and co operation !

The sky is the limit with red cups too, how high can it go...

Sink or float

This afternoon we investigated objects. We determined if they would  sink ( go to bottom) or float ( stay on top of water). Many students were curious. They also built their own structures to test if they would sink or float.

Scientists n School

We had some disappointing news this morning.  Just before arrival we were notified that our workshop was cancelled for today due to an illness.  We will reschedule in the near future.

Painted lady butterfly

We have been investigating and observing the life cycle of a Painted lady butterfly.

We have 2 caterpillars ( larvae) in our class we are observing. We hope it emerges into a butterfly.

K2 family tree

If you have yet to send in a family portrait please do! We are filling our blossom tree with family photos.

More worms

Today we had an up close and personal look at worms. We investigated, observed and measured.

Worms

We continue to investigate worms.  We now have our own Wormery in the classroom so we can make observations.

Officer Sarah Visits

Police Officer Sarah arrived this morning to talk to us about how police officers help keep people safe.  She showed us how to call 911 and asked everyone to discuss tonight with their parents when it is appropriate to use 911.

Bully awareness day

Today we dressed in pink to bring awareness to bullying. In class we read the book "Llama llama and the bully goat". We discussed how to be a good friend, how to treat others with respect and how to work together. 

Worms

We have begun an inquiry on worms. Now that the warmer wet weather is here we should be finding them everywhere! We have learned the parts of a worm and their habitat. 

Let the wiggles begin...
