Bienvenue les amis de division 12
On Wednesday, students listened to the story If instead of a person, read by indigenous author Courtney Defriend. Students then created their own images illustrating the way in which different parts of the earth can be connected. Next time maybe I’ll even figure out how to rotate the images.
Hello parents,
Welcome to division 12. Here is a very short video to test whether we have successfully loaded the blog. Click on the hands below.
Today we learned about gasses and how they take up all available space in a container. To test this out, we combined vinegar and baking soda. We capped off our container with a balloon so we could “see” the gas filling up all the space. The photos aren’t great because I also had to participate in the experiment but it gives you a visual. Ask your child about the “explosion”.
Dear Parents,
The district has been having some difficulty with the server of late and we have received messages indicating that some email notifications did not go through. So this is a note to check that you have received notifications for our last two posts (salmon dissection and community contributions) but it is also a test to see if the issue is fixed and this message will get through to everyone. If you have been receiving all the notifications, please disregard this post.
Cheers,
Mme Marto & Mme Matousek
Today we wrapped up our salmon unit with a dissection. The class referred to our fish as Bob and he turned out to be a male. I dissected the internal organs and the students got a chance to look at them and touch them if they wanted to. A few students found the blood a bit much but most were fascinated. Then we dis a cut and paste activity. Have your child walk you through the photos.
Our class has been learning about various artists. They learned about Van Gogh and created their own version of Starry Night (displayed in our windows), Ted Harrison (in their portfolio), Picasso self portraits (ask them about it-they couldn’t stop laughing and comparing) and below are their gorgeous close up flowers, inspired by the work of Georgia O’Keefe. Enjoy!
