Room 22
April 1, 2024
The Grade one and twos had a marvelous March! They were super busy with our Science unit on Objects and Materials. We spent a lot of time learning about the differences between an object and the materials that are used to create objects. This cumulated in the students getting the chance to build a pencil holder that had to fit a specific criteria. The criteria was that it had to stand up on their desk, it had to hold at least 10 pencils, it had to have at least 3 different materials and 2 different joining materials and it they had to be creative! The class did an amazing job of this, and they even had time to present their pencil holders to the class.
The students also had the opportunity at the beginning of March to watch a Freeze Frame film. Our film was called “Butterfly Tale”. This film ties in perfectly with our learning, as in April the students will be receiving a presentation on Monarch Butterflies!
In April will be continuing our Social Studies unit on My Community and starting a new unit in Math on Place Value. A big thank you to all of the families that I talked to for Parent Teacher, it was great to connect with everyone!
