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!

One day Jesus went to the city of Jerusalem.
People were o happy to see Him.
They put palm branches on the ground to welcome Him.
We remember this special day.
We call it Palm Sunday.

Counting Coins for Grandmothers To Grandmothers!

Today the children worked in groups to sort the coins I brought in from home. They worked for over an hour sorting the coins and counting the pennies. My heart was full of pride as children described coins, named them and figured out ways to count the pennies! GREAT TEAM WORK! Money, Money, Money, Money! on Photopeach
