Happy Spring!

Happy Spring, Wolf Blog Readers!

I hope you were all able to enjoy some of the spring sunshine we had today, as we prepare for a busy week of learning ahead! :)

The below notice will be sent home with your Wolf tomorrow, but please take note:

We had an awesome trip to BayFerg Farms on Thursday! We checked out their old and new ways to milk cows and attempted to do some eagle watching; unfortunately for us, the eagles were not a fan of our big yellow bus! A big thank you to Jenny and Willie Ferguson for showing us around, as well as to Bob, Tanya, Dave and Zack for joining us on our adventure! :) (I'll add more photos once Bob sends them to us!)

Here are a few bird shots from our trip/inspired by our class bird watching interests:

As part of our science learning on solids, liquids and gases, we made rock candy! We're anxiously awaiting for the rocks to start forming but you can see some of our creating in the videos below. Keep your fingers crossed our experiment worked! :)





Our math skills have had us focused on our sorting skills as students learn mathematical terms used to sort and classify objects. Students have also been working on solving story problems; they've been looking for clue words in story problems that help ensure the problems are solved correctly and that they're not being tricked. The below videos show students cooperating to sort and justify why/how they've sorted a set group of objects:




A big thank you goes out to Madame Richardson for organizing some fun events for us to participate in, leading up to our long Easter weekend. Below, you can see some of the Wolves cooperate on building an egg tower:




Our language learning has been focused on comparative text, written comprehension, organizational strategies and persuasive writing. We'll continue to focus on these text types, as well as letter writing, in the coming weeks.

Thanks for tuning in and I'll update this space with more bird pics as we receive them! :)
