Buoyancy in the Classroom

Our primary room had fun testing the buoyancy of classroom objects today.

The students were given a table on which they had to record their objects, hypothesize whether they would float or sink, and record their results.

We had some interesting results!

Going "Squirrelly"

Playschool is going "squirrelly". They are busily leaning some squirrel facts, searching for and organizing nuts and feeling pretty frisky.
These are pictures of the students with our very own resident squirrel friend.

Math Manipulatives

The Primary room used manipulatives to represent their adding skills today! The Grade 2 students used base ten and one blocks to represent addition sentences up to one hundred.

 
Our Grade 1 students used a variety of manipulatives to demonstrate fact families up to twenty!

 Our understanding of addition was later practiced in our math notebooks using numerals. It was a great way to start our unit!
