This afternoon students in room 7 explored the Scientific Method. We began by listing the 7 steps. Next we watched a small video clip to help understand each step. Students are in the process of creating a vocabulary flip chart looking at each word to understand the process. The words we are exploring are: procedure, problem, hypothesis, conclusion, new questions, materials, observations. Ask your child which order these go in!

Student Reflections:
"Today I finished my zones of regulation tools." (DD)
"Today we did a flip book of the Scientific method." (AF)
"We continued to work on place value riddles." (GA)

Reminders
Please book a time for interviews, they are now open.

Welcome to Online Learning

Dear Parent(s) / Guardian(s): Thank you for your patience as we work through some necessary planning in preparation for resuming structured learning opportunities for your child. I understand there has been a lot of uncertainty about what learning is going to look like moving forward. I can assure you that we are going to work on key learning outcomes at-home within the parameters established by the province and CBE. To help me understand your family’s access to technology, can you please provide responses to the following three questions: § Does your child have access to a computer, laptop, iPad/tablet, smart phone? If so which types of technology might be accessible? § Does your child have access to the Internet? § Is your only option a paper-based education for your child? While the lessons I will be providing are aimed...

Happy Tuesday! I hope all of you are dressing warm for this weather. It is unbelievable how cold it is outside. These past two days week we have continued with our exploration of the human ear. Students made 3D models of the parts of the ear and then presented their models to the class. It was interesting to hear what materials were chosen for each part. For example, one student shared they chose a backwards cup for the pinna so the sound has a big opening and then funnel into the ear canal. One student explained they chose a material that was flexible to represent the ear drum so that the sound waves can create a vibration which can then travel through the bones to the cochlea. Ask your child how the ear works and what the purpose of each part may be. Field trip forms for the zoo were handed out today. I will need 5 volunteers for this field study. If you are available, please let me know through email. I cannot take more than 5 so the first 5 people will have preference on thi...
