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!
