Animal FUN and plenty of learning!

Wow! What a fun and busy few weeks we have had! Our students have had so many great opportunities over the last little while to develop their love of learning and embrace learning about animals in various areas. Thank you to all the parent volunteers that were able to join us on our zoo field trip! We had a BLAST and we couldn't have done it without all your kindness and support. We saw so many animals and learned a lot about their habitats.

Before the zoo we also met some amazing new bunnies which we have since welcomed into our classroom. We have loved incorporating literacy, art, science, and other areas of learning with these cuties names Midnight and Daisy.

We have learned about what we need to do to help care for our bunnies and our team work has been incredible. We all do help with bunny messes too.

Our students are learning how to be gentle and how to care for our new furry friends daily and are doing an amazing job.

Our zoo trip was so exciting and we learned so much about where animals live and what they eat as well as, various adaptations that animals have to survive. Some students have shared so much through the use of PebbleGo and we have done oral presentations to teach one another our learnings about animals.

Books about animals are constantly being explored by our little animal scientists.

Zoo excitement-we sure do love bus rides.

After the zoo some of our monkeys inspired to use water colours to recreate some of their favourite animals. Just not the same day because on our way back our little friends were quite sleepy.

Graphing and surveying was also done by some of our little mathematicians.

We have also been monitoring and learning about how living things like plants and flowers can survive and have planted a small garden.

We love watering these flowers and taking care of them daily.

Here's a little playground update...our students have now become musical with our found items from the ravine-check out our drummer!

Finally, thank you to the families who are helping us pass along our #convoplate and are keeping the conversation about mental health awareness in young people going! Your support is very much appreciated.
