Good morning, Division 4, 

I hope you are having a great start to your day!

One of this week’s projects is continuing to create art that connects us. Another symbol of joy and hope are rainbows, often coming after a storm. Please join us in creating rainbows to share with our community.  I have posted our UHE “Rainbow Connections” video on Teams, with a beautiful video created by Ms. Cowan. In it, she shares inspiration and ideas to create your rainbow. How many ways can you create a rainbow? Please upload or send your photos in to be part of the collaborative, school-wide project. 

 

The second assignment that will be posted on Teams is a mystery science!

This week, we are doing a mystery science lesson that is a bit longer than the previous ones. Many of you were excited to move on to rocks, rock cycles, and earth sciences! And today’s mystery science will be all about volcanoes.

  1. First watch this mystery science video about volcanoes!
  2. Do the mapping activity! (You are not required to print them)
  3. Answer the assessment questions!

Extensions:

I noticed that many of you are figuring out how to use Teams! Please be patient with yourselves as you learn this new tool. Teams is one way that we can find and share work with our teachers to get feedback. I will be posting activities each day, but there will be opportunities for choice and extensions.

If our activities spark passion and creativity in other areas, please feel encouraged to follow those inquiries as well. I would love to hear about your learning adventures! Please always feel welcome to share photos, reflections, and ideas from your projects. 

Here are a few featured artists, designers, and scientists!
