Last week we had some special visitors arrive in our classroom! We have 20 painted lady caterpillars that we will be observing and taking care of for the next few weeks. When they first arrived they were very tiny. We have been documenting their growth and were shocked to arrive back at school this afternoon to see how much they have changed! They sure were busy eating over the weekend. We have lots of questions about how caterpillars turn into butterflies!
We have also been learning about coding. Students are working on iPads with a partner and have been working their way through the lessons on code.org. This is a website that you could check out with your student at home as well! It takes them through various coding activities and lessons.
Today we enjoyed a day of learning downtown, exploring Prince's Island Park and the Bow River Pathway. We rotated through three centers in the morning and then had lunch in the park. With Mrs. McCaw we had the chance to use iPads to create a PicCollage showing signs of animals. We saw a lot of geese and goslings. Did you know a group of geese is called a gaggle? With Mrs. Pittman we practiced sketching plants and used watercolor pencil crayons. With Ms. Fraser we walked down to the Peace Bridge and looked for 2D shapes and 3D objects and had the chance to explore the area around the bridge.
