Blog - Week of Sept 11-15
This week in our grade one community we went out into our space of nature and used natural materials found on the land to create images connected to letters of the alphabet. This will be added to our learning space for us to use as a reference for the rest of the year. The next day, we went out to our outdoor learning space again, and looked for a tree that we would take on as our Class Pet. This will be a tree that we will visit throughout the seasons, and watch as it changes. We were able to come together to make a decision of one tree that will be our tree to watch. On Wednesday we visited our tree again, and made observations and were word collectors, to describe what we noticed, using our senses. We then shared and recorded these words together. We completed our work near the end of the week by having a picture of our tree and adding some words to describe it, as well as colouring the picture to match what it looks like at the end of the summer season. We look forward to visiting our tree throughout this school year.
Learning Intentions:
I can document signs of seasonal changes over time.
I can talk about how changes in the appearance of environments and plants are related to the seasons.
Leaf Collection and Collectors - Volunteer Opportunity
This is not mandatory, but if possible, we are looking for some families and kids who would be willing to collect a small collection of various leaves from the community. These leaves will be used for our Season Museum that we are creating in our school, as a space for students to explore and create different things. We ask that you only collect a small sandwich ziploc bag of leaves and try to find different types of leaves of different shapes and sizes. If we have a number of people collecting from different parts, we will be able to get quite a good variety of leaves from various locations and places. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to email Ms Gardner. We are also hoping to have these available by Thursday, September 21. Thank you for your support with this project.
