IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Volunteer Callout! I’m dropping a bug in the ear of you gentle folk that we will need some volunteers for our field trip to the Weaselhead Preservation. Please email me or Jodi if you can make it! IMPORTANT DATES May 2: Fun Lunch (Booster Juice) May 2: Elder Shirley Hill May 7: Music Monday May 9: Weaselhead Preservation Field Trip May 9: Grade 3 presents to School Council!! May 14: Elder Shirley Hill May 16: Elder Shirley Hill May 16: Fun Lunch (Wok Box) May 18: PD Day (no school for students) May 25: Volunteer Tea OUR DAY 139 days down, 41 days left. A combined Thursday and Friday! Our focus has been tying up loose ends in the class. We have been practicing our subtraction, continuing on with our Harry Potter Reader’s Response, finishing up the felting of Ukrainian flowers, reflecting and creating an event map of the felting process, and coming up with our Tunisia Slam Project ideas. We will be tackling these next week. Students will have two days to research and create a presentation on their topic they want to learn more about. We wrote our Thank-You Letter to Chevron and The Calgary Zoo, which will go along with our Class Story Sticks. Most students have added onto these sticks, and those that were not here this week, will have an opportunity to catch up next week Monday. We are also heading into our final writing project of the year - the Zoo School Animal Non-Fiction Narratives. Students will be using all their observations from the zoo to help build their story. We will also be doing closed reading on their animals to help fill in any gaps in the different areas (Habitat, Diet, Physical Characteristics, Parental Care, Threats, Defenses/Adaptations, Predator, Prey, and Life Cycles). Our end goal is to create stories about our animals that will promote empathy and compassion for animals, nature, and conservation, which was our focus at Zoo School. Cheerios!
