 Our classroom plant collection is growing & this past week we have spent time observing the different plants, sketching them using a variety of sketching techniques and adding labels.

Our Ralph Klein Field trip was a success! Thank you to the parent volunteers who joined, we hope that there will be more opportunities for field studies throughout the school year. Students learned about a variety of aquatic invertebrates as well as other mammals and birds that make their homes in wetland areas. They were able to explore and examine aquatic invertebrates such as the damselfly nymph, sideswimmer, and water boatman up close during our pond dip. 

This week we wrapped up our math exploration on data analysis, which is the  collection, organization, and

interpretation of information.

In this unit, your child:

 Collected data to find information or solve a problem.

 Organized data using tally marks, charts, lists, and line plots.

 Constructed and labelled pictographs and bar graphs.

 Read and interpreted data collection charts, pictographs, and bar graphs.

Here are some suggestions for activities you can do with your child at home:

Have your child collect and organize data at home to help make an

important decision. For example, he or she could collect and organize

data to decide the flavour of birthday cake to bake for the next family

birthday. Your child should write a question to ask family members,

collect and organize the results, and decide what flavour of birthday

cake to bake.
