Baby Kade
Baby Kade came to visit us this week. He is growing a lot and he can do something all by himself now! Ask your child what it is.
We were experimenting with senses and what senses he was using during his visit.
Alexandra the Great Horned Owl came with Tracey to help students understand some interesting facts about owls.
We have also been estimating. We are learning that when we estimate we use our prior knowledge to guess something. It doesn't have to be the exact number but our prior knowledge tells us we know these examples can't be a big number like 100 but they are obviously more than 1 or 2.
On Tuesday we watched a presentation sponsored by Ontario Power Generation about Owls.
Students learned a lot about owls and that they need 4 things to survive. Ask your child if they remember what they are.
Can you see the owl below!?!

SNOWMEN!!
We used marshmallows to see how many would fit in different sized circles.Each student stamped marshmallows in their circles then counted how many fit in each of them. When we were done, students made snowmen out of them.
Later in the week we read the story "Sadie and the Snowman". We have been talking about different temperatures and how the temperature can decide what the weather might do.
We went outside to find some "packy" snow.
It was kind of tricky, ...
We put these snowmen in 4 different places and predicted what would happen by the end of the day and then the next morning.
One was put outside the back door.
And the last in the fridge.
Students came up with a lot of great predictions. (Even some silly ones)
We checked them at the end of the day and the next morning, this is what we found!
Ask your child about what happened to each and why.
