What We're Up To, May 23-27

I hope that you had a great May Long Weekend! 

Last week we completed our bird unit. Students showed what they know about the parts of a bird, how birds fly, where birds live, and how birds hatch from eggs. I will be sending their 'Bird Work' home soon!

Miss Breanne Knull is a Bachelor of Education student at Concordia University who has been volunteering in our classroom weekly. Miss Knull lives on a farm and brought in some chicks for us to see! We brainstormed some names and voted on what to name them. It was decided that they would be 'Lego' and 'Daisy'. After Miss Knull shared her chicks with us, we shared our 'Chicken Dance' with her. I've included a clip for you to view!


For the next few weeks we will be learning all about different bugs and whether they are 'good guys' or 'bad guys'. Today we learned all about spiders and decided that even though spiders need their space and we shouldn't pick them up, they are 'good guys' because they eat lots of mosquitos and flies and help keep pests away from the garden. 

For the next few days, we will be learning about caterpillars- we even have some real caterpillars in our classroom, which we'll take a closer look at tomorrow as well!

  • L.I.F.T Bags went home again today, please return them on Friday! 
  • Library is tomorrow!
  • Our Family Kite flying event is also tomorrow evening. 
  • Jump Rope for Heart Day is this Friday!
