Materials Needed

In Science next week students will be conducting experiments and building structures!

Students in Grade 2 are asked to bring in materials to conduct their experiments. If possible, please  provide any items found around the house for your student. I can provide any missing parts next week. Ice, water, and microwaves are provided at school.

Students in Grade 3 are asked to bring in 'building materials' (cardboard, paper towel rolls, plastic, etc.) to create their structures. If possible, please provide any items found around your house. I can provide any missing parts.

Writing

We are learning how to write clear and detailed procedures following a specific format. This skill will come in handy for a science project beginning next week! 

For extra practise at home consider following a recipe at home, this connects to writing as well as mass and capacity!

Science

This week was spend experimenting how different liquids and solids react when mixed together, and exploring how structures can be strong and stable. Here are some pictures that capture this learning:

Yearbook!  Yearbook!  Yearbook!  Purchase our first ever Rick Hansen yearbook … a time capsule of the events and people that made this year memorable.  Please return your order form to your homeroom teacher as soon as possible.  Orders are due before the end of the month.  Once the deadline passes, you will not be able to order a yearbook … so don’t miss out on your chance. If you lost your order form, you can pick up a new one in the office.
