SNOW DAY!!! ~ November 27, 2013

It was a winter wonderland in the Glebe on Wednesday November 27!!  We could not stay inside and spent most of our morning amoungst the snowflakes.  We kept busy making snowmen, snow angels, forts, and bolders!

 

SNOWFORT!

 

Beautiful!

 

Julia's snowman

 

We made a mini experiment by placing snow into coffee filters.  We wondered, "What will be left over?"  What we found out: Lots of water with a lot of dirt!!!  Guess we shouldnt eat all that now after all!!!

 

TEAM WORK!

 

November fun

 

The girls were all about matching the book to it's letter on the carpet.

 

Quinn and Cyana are determined to get to the bottom of our animal skull mystery.  As a class we discussed how we (as students) would go about finding new information to solve our problem. They came up with the following: 1) Visit a museum and compare our skull with others that are in the museum 2) look in a book 3) look on the internet 4) take a walk in a forest.  Pretty cool, huh?

 

Evie's cake!  She's quite the cook at home too!

 

Our volcano inquiry is still going strong. Students are drawing pictures of volcanoes, experimenting with baking soda and vinegar and we are planning on making a class volcano with paper mache!!!  Keep visiting for pictures!!

I wonder.... is it a fox?

Carter was on a walk at his cottage and came across a pretty cool thing. A SKULL!!!  That's right, a real skull.  Now what we are left wondering is, what animal could it belong to?

 

Check out the hair that remains.

 

 

"I wonder, could it be fox?" - Katie

I wonder, could it be a rabbit? - Mia

 

It looks like it had some pretty big fangs. 

 

"I wonder if it was a meat eater?" -Fionn

 

Because we are curious in K, we do alot of wondering.  To assist in our research we found books from our classroom library and found images of animal skulls online.

 

Now it's time to do some comparing.

 

"The skeleton on it's teeth, on one side of it's soft....one side is soft the other is sharp. It's a meat eater."

November fun!

 

Fun with magnetic letters.

 

A lot of ramp building = A lot of FUN!
