Hello families,

Here is an update of what our class did this week! We completed scientific sketches of our classroom gourds. Students used watercolor pencils to add details and blend the colors together with water.





We estimated, counted, and recorded using tallies to see how many seeds were in our class pumpkin. Turns out there were 315 seeds in total!


 


 


We continued to practice our printing using "sky, grass, dirt" paper, following proper formation.



Students practiced their math and literacy skills with some spooky games, word searches, graphing, and ten frame/base ten practice.


  

We took part in a S.T.E.M. Haunted house marshmallow challenge.


 

Students experimented with Ghost tin foil transfer art

 

 






We took part in a glow stick experiment! Students learned about chemical reactions, chemiluminescence, and bioluminescence. Ask your child how the glow sticks changed in different temperatures of water!

 




"Who am I?" game with our big buddies.



There were so many fun accessories and costumes throughout the week! I hope everyone had a fun and safe Halloween.

 

On Friday all the grade 1/2 classes watched the movie Inside Out and enjoyed pajama day! Classes discussed the many emotions we feel, how we can communicate them, and how we can respond to others experiencing them.

Have a great weekend,
