Fresh Air Friday - Wanted! Weed Sheriffs

Another busy week of writers, mathematicians, architect/builders and swimmers!!

Yesterday, Mrs. Armour was away at her son's grade 9 farewell, so Mr. O came to teach us. We learned more about the Gnomon (sun dial) and how it works. Ask me what I remember about shadows and the sun.

Today we worked on a special project for a special person...sorry, that's all we can tell you.

After inside recess, we discussed what makes a weed, a weed. Ask me what invasive means and if I can remember my "most wanted" weed. Then we went out to the Whispering Woods to hunt for weeds. We were careful to just look and not pull anything out we weren't sure was a weed - dandelions were everywhere and we took pictures of a few we weren't sure of to check out.

Next week is another busy week!
Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday are swimming days

Wednesday is "transition day" so before recess Kindergarteners will be coming to join us to see what grade one is like and grade twos will be going to Ms. Jones and Ms. Cowdy's room to see what grade 3/4 is like. Grade ones will stay to show the Kindergarteners how to be grade ones.
Wednesday is our last Run Club so we need everyone to bring your running shoes and help us meet our goal!

Friday is SPORTS DAY!!

Last day for students is Wednesday, June 27th. Teachers will be at school on the 28th. 

                 Maybe a hawkweed? If it is, some are invasive, some aren't so we left this one!
 We think this is a "sticky purple geranium" it has been used by the Blackfoot people as a medicine to help stomach problems. It is not invasive.
                         These look like strawberry plants - they aren't invasive weeds.
                           This looks like a yellow daisy, but is actually a hawkweed!
                                                          Dandelions everywhere!
                                                         Weed sheriffs and a witch?
