We created a “gratitude wreath” filled with many different things we are grateful for in our lives!

This week, we’ve been learning about leaves and what happens to them in the fall.

We learned a song called “Orange, yellow, red and brown” which are the colours of fall leaves.

When leaves don’t have enough chlorophyll because they aren’t getting enough sunlight, they change colour to different pigments and start to fall.

We also learned about the different parts of a leaf: a blade, stem, edge, and vein!

Here are some pictures from when we collected leaves outside.

We have been working on graphing in math and have so far learned about bar graphs and pictographs. We’ve also been able to learn a lot more about each other through graphing!

Here’s a bar graph we did as a class about what the best cookie is – we only  had three options but I know there are WAY more yummy choices!

We also looked at our data and compared our results using subtraction equations.

We filled our party jar again! This called for a special bubble tea celebration where we had a variety of jellies and juices to choose from!

We have been learning about different types of graphs, while also tying into our unit on “all about me”! We have learned how to represent numbers using tally marks, and now we are practicing using bar graphs to record data. It looks like our class is full of cupcake lovers!

We got an exclusive tour of a Safeway grocery store in our community as we have been learning about food and nutrition. We then walked to Confederation Park for a picnic and an afternoon filled with fun in the sun!

We had some new classmates join us for the past few weeks. They went through a few stages (Egg, Larva, Pupa, Adult)  and we watched them become beautiful painted lady BUTTERFLIES! Just a few days ago, we released them into our school’s forest with Ms. Kwok’s class and it was so magical!

As a part of our food and nutrition unit, we talked about “sometimes foods” and “always foods”. Always foods, also known as everyday foods,  are ones we can eat every day and include the “rainbow” fruits and vegetables, grains, meats, and dairy.  Sometimes foods are still fine to eat, but we eat them less often than our always foods. This would include items that would be higher in sugar or salt.

We painted pots and grew basil & thyme for the amazing mothers in our lives!

We have a literacy centre station in our class where we can play with words through hands-on experiences. Here are some of the fun activities we do!
