Valentine’s Fun

We celebrated February by being kind to others and revisiting our secret friend activity.  Someone left me an orange with a puzzle attached. I have to wait till Friday to find out who!

This week we went to two field trips (both on Monday!), the first to see a powerful performance about the life and times of Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.  Then we were off to Morse Hill!

 

We did a science mystery recently too, investigating how much much fresh water is on earth. The exercise was a blend of science and geography, as we looked at satellite maps of earth divided into grids showing fresh, frozen and salt water bodies.  The students first predicted how much more salt water than fresh water there is on earth. Most were shocked by the graphs we made!

Valentine’s day is today. Tomorrow we will be holding a mock trial of Mae Tuck from Tuck Everlasting. All students have roles and we will decide whether or not Mae acted in self-defense when she hit the Man in the Yellow Suit.  The students will become the jurors at the end of the trial and decide Mae’s fate!

 

Friday is Chinese New Year, the Year of the Dog!  Gong hay fat choi!  We will be parading through the school with our Kindergarten Reading buddies wearing our dragon masks and carrying the dragon the Kindergartners have reconstructed!
