Makerspace!!!
Today after PE we went into the Kindergarten room and created new tinfoil boats. This time we were given extra materials: elastic bands, wooden stir sticks and plastic straws. We used marbles instead of pennies to weigh them down in the water. Two boats were able to hold 96 marbles!!!! Yesterday we had a boat hold 96 pennies! Marbles are heavier, so we definitely learned from our experimenting yesterday! Way to go!
Please continue to send in Boats and Buoyancy Field Trip forms with the $10 payment. We still need 2 more volunteers! Please help us out next Wednesday afternoon!
We also practiced our Dance in PE today too! We just need a few more practices and it will be perfect!
We had our Spelling Quiz this morning. New Spelling words to come out on Monday, Please watch for these and practice daily with your child.

We had our final session with the ladies from the Alberta Ballet! We are going to learn the rest of the dance from our teachers. The Sharing Dance Day is April 19th! We are still learning how that will look for us, but we hope to be able to share this dance with you at some point this school year.
In Math we did some bunny measuring with cubes and continued some art work to go along with it.
This afternoon we learned about Boats and Buoyancy! We watched Ms. Frizzle and her class learn all about how things float and sink. Then we created our own boat with tinfoil. We put pennies inside our boats to see if they could hold some weight. Some were GREAT, while others need to figure out how to make them bette. We will do this activity again in a month or so.
Tomorrow we will have the opportunity to meet with Mr. Jackson during our Makerspace time and learn about buoyancy some more. We can't wait to see what he will teach us.
We have a Healthy Eating Challenge happening this week. We need everyone to eat a HEALTHY SNACK at our morning break to hit our Goal of 60 healthy snacks this week. I know we can do it!
Next week our goal is to have all our library books in on time. Don't be late. Send it to school Friday or Monday so you won't be late!
On April 19th, we are having a Math Showcase evening. More details to come!

Welcome Back!!!!
New Spelling Words
Group A - went, sent, ant, bend, find, mind, kind, want, school, pool
Group B - too, good, book, shook, school, when, what, took, who, soon
Group C - children, search, teacher, reached, think, together, with, where, everywhere, short, push, finish, sure, who, whole
Dance tomorrow!
We hope you had a restful week off. We got right back into our routines this morning and are right back into our work.
We continued to discuss a bit about water and what our lives would be like if we had no more water on earth. Pretty scary to think about that.
Most of us are bringing home new library books and new home reading books. Please send in home reading if it's been awhile since your child exchanged books. Many students are not consistently bringing them in and it is important that they are reading everyday.
(oops - I didn't hit publish on Tuesday!!!! I'm SO sorry ha ha)

Sharing Dance
We started our morning off with Dance! Two people from the Alberta Ballet came to teach us a dance. It's so cool. We have one more session with them. Check out the dance we are learning at the link attached.

Today we did a fun measurement activity where we had to measure around different parts of our body!
Then this afternoon we accidentally played a trick on Ms. Yu. We were supposed to be in the Library reading, but Mrs. Nelson took us into another class instead. Ms. Yu couldn't find us and she thought we were tricking her. It was so funny!
Then we had an Easter Egg hunt and found eggs with words inside. We can earn a reward for reading and spelling the words tomorrow.
This afternoon we started a fun painting and measurement activity. It took way longer than expected because we had to keep explaining the instructions because lots of kids weren't listening. Please talk with your child about the importance of listening to instructions.

Happy Spring Break
I meant to post this on Friday! Sorry about that!
This last week flew right by. We had a wonderful week before Spring Break. We wish you all a happy and relaxing 11 days off! See you on April 3rd!
Thursday, we were able to eat Science!!! We took a solid and a liquid, mixed them together and we got a chemical reaction. We had gas form from that chemical reaction! It was awesome and delicious!
We enjoyed learning in our PJ's and did our first ever TEST in Science! We will be doing more 'tests' so students can prepare for next year when the Grade 2's moving into Grade 3 will write SLA's (Student Learning Assessment).
We did our spelling quizzes and caught up on our Star Student writing. After the break, students will be learning how to be more descriptive in their writing; how to take a simple sentence and make it better! Students have been doing great at editing with their CUPS! Ask your child what each letter in CUPS stands for!
Lastly, but certainly not least, we have Teacher's Pet coming into our classroom on Wednesday, April 11th, for an in-class field trip! Permission forms will be coming home our first day back! We will need 3 Volunteers in our classroom to make this awesome field trip happen. It will run from 12:30-2:30. So if you have the afternoon off and have your security clearance done, please sign up to join us. We love having you in our room.
