Magnificent Monday!
We began the day having French
with Mlle. Jessica.
After we continued learning about
mass. We used non-standard units (cm cubes) of measurement to compare the mass
of four items: glue stick, white board marker, scissors and cuddly. We first
made predictions and ordered the objects from what we thought was the lightest
object to the heaviest. After we did our mass experiment as a class. We found
out that Cuddly was the heaviest and the glue stick was the lightest.
We then had gym.
When we returned, we wrote in our
agendas and then began working on our spelling words for the week.
Following first recess and lunch
we went on another exciting nature walk!!! Our goal was to create a journey
story using found objects that we could wrap around our journey stick.
In many countries, people have
developed the idea of creating a journey stick to help them tell the story of
their journey to others. It involves tying objects and colours to a stick that
represent different experiences, feelings or parts of their journey.
Continuing our love and
appreciation for nature, we knew not to rip anything from the ground but only
to use found items. Students really enjoyed exploring the wonderful nature
around us!!!
When we returned, we made our
journey sticks that would tell a story about our nature walk. Check them
out!!!!
Following second recess and lunch
we continued working on our spelling and then began reading chapter 17 of The Borrowers.
At the end of the day many
of us had incredible action to share with the class!!

pieces to share with the class!!!!! He brought his brother Grayson with him and
they both shared how they adopted two animals from WWF!!! Hayden adopted a snow
leopard and Grayson adopted an orangutan. The brothers explained to us
