Inuit Dogs

Today we learned about two new schools in the letter exchange.  Both of them were from Alberta.  One of the classes only had 11 students.  One of the classes has a real tree growing in their school.  Both of the letters were from Kindergarten classes.

We have been reading lots of books about Inuit people lately.  Today in the story they talked about how it can still snow in the artic in May!  We know there is lots of snow there and they don't usually have pet dogs, their dogs are usually working dogs that pull sleds

We played an odd and even game and if the number on the dice was even then the player that was Even Steven moved.  When an odd number was rolled the other partner who was Odd Todd moved.  We are pretty good at odd and even numbers.  Please ask us about them at home. 

Popcorn!

Today we learned that heat can change things like making things rise and changing its color.  We made popcorn and wrote what we felt, smelled, tasted, saw and heard.
We made a travel brochure about High River and wrote why people might want to vacation here.The grade 1's did a seasons video to tell us all the things that happen in each of the seasons.

Come to High River.

Today the Grade 1 went on a went on a hunt to find the ingredients for a witches brew.  The grade 1's needed to use the room numbers and a map of the school to find the ingredients.
Most of us finished our brochure today.  On the back we drew pictures of the seasons in High River and wrote about them .  On the front we wrote about why it would be good to come here for a vacation and some highlights here. 
We opened the rest of our letters from our letter form the letter exchange today . 

What colour is the bark?

Today we drew a picture of a house and then we painted fire on it with Popsicle sticks and then we added water just like the fire fighter would .

We went outside to look at the bark on the trees.  We saw some yellow on the bark and we noticed that the bottom was darker than the top.  When we came inside we crumpled a piece of wax paper with black and white and pushed it onto a brown piece of paper.  It looked cool.
