Day 47

It’s the most wonderful time of the year!! That’s right  parents. Our annual Holiday Fundraiser is back and running until November 18. Order forms have been sent home. This is a wonderful opportunity to begin shopping for the holiday season, which is fast approaching. Money raised will be going towards technology items, which we desperately need!! Ask your family, neighbours, and co-workers to support this fantastic fundraiser... we have cookies, treats, and gift cards! We did extremely well last year so lets see if we can do even better! Thank you so much in advance for your support!

Calendar- the special helpers put up the date, counts down to 100 days of school, and tells us what the weather is like today.

UOI with language focus-

UOI - Students were told they were going to be paleontologists today! They had to excavate fossils (chocolate chips) from the earth (cookies). Students then had to record their fossil findings on a ten frame, in tallies, number words and pictures. Take a look:




Science Fair 
Today we began a discussion about our science fair project. We are going to be melting candy canes!! We talked about ways we could melt candy canes we had some good imaginative guesses! Then we learned that we will be trying to melt candy canes using cold water, hot water, and vinegar. We then discussed how we could measure our candy canes after they melted to see which one melted the best. After some more imaginative answers we decided on a ruler using centimetres!

We then all made a prediction of which liquid would melt the candy cane the most. Our class top vote was vinegar. From here we made a hypothesis that Vinegar will be the best liquidate melt the candy canes. We then made a list of materials we will need to complete our experiment.

Tomorrow we will continue with our experiment.
