Do you have the same places in your community?

Ask your grown-up to take you for a drive in your community.  Can you find these places?    Take pictures.

Here is Toby and Riley’s favourite place in our community:

This is the ice cream shop at Rocky Point Park in Port Moody.  They serve ice cream cones for dogs that come with a Mike Bone biscuit on top.

This is our human, Ms. Gourlay’s favourite place in  our community:

This is the shore line trail along the Burrard Inlet in Port Moody.  We walk here everyday.

We see ducks on the water.  We hear geese honking.  We smell the salty water.  We touch the wooden paths beneath our paws.  We are not allowed to eat anything!

Big Question:  How does my community meet my needs?

Rosie Revere, Engineer, by Andrea Beaty, tells the story of a girl who wants to be a great engineer. She loves making gadgets and tries to make a machine for her great-great-great-aunt so that she can fly. This book is about following your dreams and understanding that perseverance is part of the inventor’s (or engineer’s) process and that you only truly fail if you quit.

Rosie Revere is the main character in this book.

Character:  Who or what the story is about.

Tell your grown-up what you know about Rosie’s character using evidence from the book.

Do you think that Rosie has good Creative and Critical Thinking Skills?  Think about these ‘I’ statements.  Are there examples from the book that shows Rosie does these things?

• I get new ideas when I play.
• I get ideas  when I use my senses to explore.
• I try a new idea when something doesn’t work.
• I can explore materials or actions.
• I can try different ways of doing things.
