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 118 days to go, 62 days left. I believe the leprechauns jinxed my blog on Friday. (Insert shaking fist and dramatic eye roll here.) On Friday, we finished our leprechaun traps, which were then strategically placed around the classroom. Alas, no leprechauns were caught, AND the room was trashed! They did leave behind some ‘gold’ coins. I did remind students not to put those coins in their mouths as we don’t know what they are made of, not to mention I have never done the Heimlich maneuver on a live person. We painted our second Spring Concert painting today for Mist. We tried out the watercolor pencils, which will come in handy for our time at Zoo School (we need volunteers), and when we go to Fish Creek if the snow melts. Students also did peer feedback for their Pen Pal letters. I will go over and provide the big kahuna editor feedback, and then we are good for final copy. After lunch, we did some measuring. Students were given a sheet with different lengths (in centimeters). They were also challenged to measure starting from different points on their ruler. We discussed counting on, and how the ruler is really a number line. They were then asked to add up all their numbers. Next, we will discuss different strategies for adding many different numbers. The day ended with a first rehearsal for the concert in the gym. It is sounding mighty fine! Cheerios! Ms Lauf Comments are closed.
