Field trip!!

This is how it began...9am

Excitement is going strong.

Few songs to sing to keep us busy on the bus.

And this is how it ends...2:45pm



Thank you to all the parents who were able to come and join in on this field trip. The kids had a great chat about their favorite things that they saw and did. Thank you for helping lasting memories for the children to carry with them through their school years.
Thank you for helping us enjoy this last big day with your children. We enjoyed our day watching our students play and laugh.

Until next year.....

Beautiful moments

R wanted to plant her Maple Tree seeds that she found outside. We had to make a plan first.

She made a list of things we needed and wrote her instructions.

She planted her seeds and everyday she waters her little trees.

"Look!! I found me!!!"

"I found this beautiful flower."

"We are in a frame. We look like a picture."

"We're going for a ride."

These children are reading and using picture clues to label body parts.

"I mustache you"
(I must have you)

Who are these guys? New students?

Exploring with light through the see threw magnet tiles.

This is how the tunnel looked from inside. Very cool discovery.

Life looks good through rosy coloured glasses.

Lemonade

In honour of summer vacation coming and just reading this book...

We're going to make lemonade. 

I'm looking to borrow anyone's manual juicers next week. If you have one we can use could you please send it in for us. 

It looks like this. 

Thanks!!

Zoo

What an amazing trip to the zoo! This inquiry all started by M sharing his trip to the zoo. His mom emailed me some pictures of their day trip which opened up a world of discussions, observations, and creativeness. 

We made a list of questions we want to learn about

The children became authors and illustrators of their own zoo books.

The penguin aquarium that many of the children have seen at the Detroit Zoo.

The children created enclosures for their animals. They had to learn about their habitat, so that their animals lived happily.

We created a graph, the categories where 4 different habitats. The children had to sort all the different kinds of animals. Then they changed it on their own...feathers, fur, scales and fins.

The children painted the different areas around the world where the animals come from. Their natural environments.
They are a painting a jungle, forest, dessert, arctic and oceans.

The children work together to add details to their paintings.

All the animals have been sorted into their homes. They took turns being the zoo keeper.

Here is the admission gate at the zoo where the children had to use their money to buy tickets.
They made the tickets and had to use their knowledge of money to buy a ticket.
