Sunny Wednesday

Today a few of us were writers and performers and wanted to share our "Emoji stories" or perform our songs after centres. We are learning to create and write stories using little pictures for ideas. Ask me what centre I chose to work at today!

For Math, Mrs. Armour read the story "1 Hunter" and then our challenge was to find out how many animals there were altogether. We had to add 1+2+3+4+5+6+7+8+9+10 and then -1 because the Hunter ran away at the end! Ask me if I got the answer and how I figured it out.

Dioramas - We painted our shoe boxes yesterday to show the background of Nose Hill and some of us finished up today. Everyone has a shoe box now - thank you to those who brought extras! We will be adding details over the next few weeks and keep playing, "Did you know?" (facts about our animals) to make sure we have all the details in our research and become experts of Nose Hill plants and animals!

We went on a "stealth search" in the school to see if we could find a match for a picture Mrs. Armour handed out. Ask me who we found and if I remember anything about him! (See picture below for a clue!) We were so busy writing about the man, we forgot about our gym time - we have been trying out the Bouldering wall and yesterday played a game where we had to try and touch all the "puff balls" Mrs. Armour had put on the hand holds. Ask me if I remember 3 rules for the wall.

We played "Did you know?" before Music and then cleaned up and went outside for our Gym time today at the end of the day. 

Just a reminder FRIDAY is a NON-INSTRUCTION DAY. If you haven't signed for Face to Face conferences Thursday 4-8pm or Friday 8-12pm, please do so we can share all our learning with you!

An idea for Friday - free family play at NOSEHILL LIBRARY at 4:30pm performed by Calgary Young People's Theatre. You can check this website for more information www.cypt.ca

Inglewood Bird Sanctuary field trip on Monday, April 23rd. Thanks so much! Everyone has sent back their forms!!

Volunteer Appreciation Tea on April 26 from 2 pm to 3:30 pm

 Starting to paint our backgrounds for our Dioramas

 Madalynn sharing her painted horse in beautiful Lavender!

 Arthur sharing his origami frog that turns into a bird, and a snake with fangs!

 Lily sharing her art - a feathered unicorn!

 Here is our Math challenge - can you figure it out? Don't forget to subtract the hunter - he ran away!

 Some of us needed to see all the animals and double check our answer.

 After we completed the challenge - we played "race to 100" to practice our addition

 Some of us showed our learning with colored cubes

 The yellow cube represents the hunter running away!

 Do you recognize this man?

 We found him!

 Now we are adding some facts about him in our "All About Me" book.

How many of these facts did you know?
