Zoo School Information I had my meeting with Andrea Beatty and Natasha McKay from Zoo School and Calgary Open Minds last evening. I have a wheelbarrow full of information to pass along, which I will do in the form of a letter. I will be sending that and the field trip form home shortly before Spring Break. I began sharing information with the class today, such as respectful and on-task behaviour, listening to they adult of the day, not wandering off, the penguin filtration system, the behind the scenes animal experience, storytelling, and that the week at the Zoo is our classroom. I will continue to support the students leading up to and during the visit. IMPORTANT DATES March 21: Fun Lunch (Jugo Juice) March 21 & 22: Spring Concert (evening; more information to follow) March 23: PD Day - No School for Students March 26 - April 2: Spring Break April 3: Classes resume April 9-13: Zoo School OUR DAY 116 days to go, 64 days left. The Leprechauns are coming! The Leprechauns are coming! We are going to be RICH! Rich in knowledge, that is. Today started off with a Spring Concert Mixed Media Art Extravaganza! We looked at colours of storm clouds (not just black or gray), composition, we discussed background, mid-ground, and foreground, and we talked about proportion and scale in relation to composition. We will finish them up tomorrow. Side thought: Why is background and foreground written as compound words, but not mid-ground? After a snowy recess (Come on Spring! Get in there!), we began our Leprechaun Trap Slam Build. This ties in quite nicely with TWO science units (Building with a Variety of Materials, and Testing Materials and Design, focus on design and appropriate fasteners) , AND Math (Measurement, and Addition).
We will finish it up tomorrow, with a verbal reflection of what worked, what roadblock popped up, and how they overcame it. Cheerios! Ms Lauf Comments are closed.
