Division 10 has been so very busy and engaged in a number of Spring learning experiences.

We continued our understanding of Matter and began to mix liquids together.  We tried to see if one liquid would dissolve within another.  We tried to see which liquids would sink to the bottom and which would float to the top.  Now, we are waiting for the process of evaporation to take place so we can see the changes that take place with matter. We also experimented with air and had some balloon and bubble fun.

 

 

 

 

Despite most of the ice of the season being gone, we know that the NHL is still ongoing.  So, we have continued to be involved with the game of floor hockey.  Some exciting action has been taking place in the gym.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We have also been on many searches and hunts, not for Easter eggs, for geo-shapes and solids.  The classroom, school hallway and outside field and playground have opened our eyes to the number of shapes and solids in our every day world.  We used data collection and tally marks to record our observations and findings.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Spring weather also gave us a day to weed out the many garden planters in the courtyard.  We hope to plant lettuce after Easter.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Where are you Skylar? You were out there, at the garden planters, doing a great job! 🙂

 

 

 

Our recent carpet poem is titled, “Eggs.”  We began to consider all of the animals that hatch from eggs.  It’s not just birds.  Fish, Reptiles, Amphibians and Insects/Arachnids all hatch from eggs.  We had a little fun with “Who Is Hatching?”

 

 

 

 

 

 

Our classroom inquiry question, “What stories do the seasons share with us,” led us to our Signs Of Spring.  We literally made SIGNS for the arrival of the stories of Spring.  The signs also connected to our Geometry lessons on shapes and solids. 

We also took on some applied design and technology skills to create our own Shape Cities.  We were inspired by the book, “Aliens and Astronauts” as well as “Friendshape!” 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

All Aboard The Reading Train was another great Literacy experience.  Perhaps, you can get on board a reading train this weekend.

Have a lovely Easter weekend!
