Our Field Trip to the Science and Technology Museum!

We went to the science and technology museum.  First, we went to the Energy and Forces Workshop.  We learned about energy.  We had fun racing cars with solar energy!  We shined light on the solar panel to make the car move!  Then we launched air rockets using our hands to force the air to shoot the rocket.  We hit Ms. Quinn!  We also hit Mrs. Troy!  Next, we ate lunch outside.  After we explored the museum!  We went into the "Digital Network."  We traveled through tunnels and went down pitch black slides!  It was really scary!  It was really FUN!  Next we went into the Crazy Kitchen!  The Crazy Kitchen was crooked and hard to walk through!  It was fun!  We saw a bottle with Connor's name on it!  We also found a note in the kitchen too!  Some friends then went to explore the hamster wheel, the trains, the electric eels and the snowmobile!  Last we went on the bus.  We saw 2 deer in a field.  It was AWESOME!

Thank you to all of our parents for coming and helping out!  We really enjoyed the day!

Field Trip and Other Reminders!

Happy Tuesday!

I am so excited to share that I have now learned how to add more information to our blog!  YAHOO!  Starting soon, you will see a copy of our weekly homework and monthly newsletters on the blog.  Check out some of the learning sites we also use for our Literacy and Math Stations!

Friday is our field trip to the Science and Technology Museum.  A BIG thank you goes out to all of our volunteers for the day!  Volunteers are asked to meet us at the museum for 10am.  The children will need to travel to and from the museum on the day.  We will be leaving the museum at 1:30.  The cost for each student to attend the Energy workshop and explore the museum will be covered by the activity fee collected at the beginning of the school year.  Please remember to send snacks and a lunch with your child on Friday.

 Over the last few weeks, we have also been investigating and discovering what living things need.  Here are some photos of our "Living stations."

Welcome to Our Baby CHICKS!

Hello everyone!

I went in this afternoon to check on our eggs and met a few new friends!!
We now have 8 baby chicks sleeping in our incubator!  I wonder how many more we will have tomorrow morning...

Spring has SPRUNG in Grade One!

Did you hear our EGGciting news?

For our new science unit on Living Things, the children will be investigating chicks, butterflies, hermit crabs and plants.  They will be observing life cycles and discovering what living things need to survive.




We have been caring for our eggs for the last two weeks and look forward to our chicks hatching on Monday.  Today the children were introduced to our new friends... the caterpillars and we will be watching them grow, grow, grow and build their chrysalis.

Students and parents will get the chance to welcome all our new friends next week during the Open House!

For the last few weeks, the children have been discovering concepts associated with Energy.  First, the children came up with "wonderings" about Energy and then decided to explore these questions through "Learning Stations."  Check out each of our stations and see the discoveries made! Click twice!
