Storytellers & Scientists in Div. 11!

This week was full of adventures.

We shared stories of our celebrations and families.

We shared stories from our imaginations.

Storytellers shared their stories aloud while Ms. Carley typed them on the whiteboard. Then we reviewed and revised together. Finally we had actors help act out our stories. We had so much fun – we can’t wait for more story tellers to share! Thank you Amelia and Mariam!

We created stories using loose parts and then drew and wrote them down! Thank you Sebastian, Maia, Charlotte, and Kela for sharing your stories today!

We learned about the Ojibway Seven Sacred Teachings through stories from and songs with Mr. Asham and Elder Dave Courchene on Zoom. You can find the video we watched about the teachings here.

As scientists, we explored water mysteries, such as the case of the missing puddle!

We had our second garden workshop day! Thank you to the parents who were able to join us!

We also used our observation skills of sight and touch to explore forest beings that were preserved and shared from the Beatty Museum! We look forward to looking closely with tools next week and creating art and stories inspired by these forest treasures!

The bird was soft. – Leah

The chipmunk and the other animal over there were very soft and I liked it but the chipmunk was softer. – Amelia

I like that bird that the people cut the wings off. – Sebastian

I like the rocks. – Max

I like the squirrel. – Ian

Actually the squirrel was a little bit softer than the chipmunk. – Maia

It was fun to touch all the artifacts and the wings and the squirrels and chipmunks were softer and for the rocks I think that the firm part of the fossil was different than the rock part. – Benjamin

I like hummingbird. – Niko

The chipmunk is the cutest. – Ethan

Our monitors loved caring for our class this week and we felt proud and happy when we read their messages!

Thank you for a wonderful week, Div. 11! I look forward to our next week!
