Good afternoon Wonderful Students and Families,
I hope everyone is continuing to stay safe and enjoying all the fun and exciting learning activities we have taken part in. We would like to send out a great BIG, "Thank You" to the 4 Parent Volunteers we had this past week during our fun Felting activity in our classroom! You guys did a fantastic job and made the afternoon of learning that much more fun and helpful, thank you so much from our class =;)
Below are some pictures of what we did during this Social Studies and Art in-class field trip. The students were able to create a land scene of a RURAL community like Saskatoon (Prairie life - much like we have here in Calgary). The students also formed small groups and created posters based on the NATURAL RESOURCES of each of the 3 communities (Natural Resources - something from nature and we use it). Each group then came up to the front of the class and presented their findings - the students were extremely BRAVE in coming up and teaching their classmates! Great work everyone! See if you can teach your family some of the interesting facts you learned about in your community!
Science - Exploring Liquids - see if you can add MORE DROPS of water on a penny at home. Remember why the water creates a DOME SHAPE - elastic skin/surface tension:
LA - learning how important our IMAGINATION is in creating our ideas and then into stories:
Story Books used to introduce the concept and to enjoy:
"Imagine a Day". "Imagine a Night". "Imagine a Place". "Imagine a World".
Enjoy your weekend and please continue to work on your RazKids and Mathletics (the more you work on these skills, the easier it will get for you to learn new skills). =;)
HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND AND THANK YOU FOR WORKING SO HARD, GRADE 2 STUDENTS =;)
Mr. Engel
