The beginning of spring is full of celebrations! Sending best wishes to everyone celebrating Ramadan this ninth month, Easter this long weekend, and Baisakhi (Vaisakhi) this April 14th!

Here are a few snapshots of Div. 11 learning from each day this week!

On Monday, we measured our pod’s potatoes! We are so excited to see how they grow and change!

On Tuesday, we had the special treat of visiting the Museum of Archaeology at SFU! We learned so much about what it means to be an archaeologist and all the amazing  things that they do! We put together the puzzle of a human skeletons by comparing our bone pictures to a skeleton model! We sorted human skulls from older to younger, learning all about interesting evolutionary characteristics such as skull size and brow bones! We also got to put pieces of a jar back together using play-doh to connect the matching pieces! We ended our field trip with an Easter Egg hunt where we got explore all the different parts of the museum, including some pole carvings, canoes, African masks, and so many more amazing exhibits! A huge thank you to Maia’s mom, Merrill for inviting us, and a huge thank you to our parent volunteers for joining us!

 

On Wednesday, we had another garden workshop! We learned more about pollinators, and starting creating our own bee models. We prepared our garden beds and loved all the creatures we found! We also created story stones with Niko’s mom, Kana! We are so grateful for these amazing opportunities in the garden to explore science, literacy, and art!

On Thursday, we learned about being kind to each other. We did some role-playing and read a story all about kindness with Ms. Nicyfor. We considered things that we think and things that we say. We want to say kind and helpful things to each other. We brought home an activity to talk to you about and continue our conversations of choices, strategies, and being a good friend. This learning is perfect as we prepare for International Day of Pink on April 12th!

What will our learning look like next week?
