Tuesday began with a handwriting assignment with two choices. Choice one on self esteem and the second choice books as treasures. The first choice was longer and was to be illustrated. The second choice was a single sentence but the students had to print a response to what they thought the quote meant.
After Handwriting we worked on making a crest (coat of arms) as a symbol for their nation in our "design your own nation" project. We talked about colors and what they mean, shapes and what they stand for and what different animals mean if used on their national coat of arms.
After recess we had 30 minutes of silent reading then went to the computer lab to find information and pictures for their nation report. They were to find a national animal, tree, fish, flower, bird, for the nation they are making.
After lunch we had two science or education students from the university of Victoria representing "Science Ventures" who taught us about Sound and Light. The activities and experiments went for the whole afternoon and were totally fun. The activities were child centered and engaging for our students. The students themselves became part of the experiments and we heard sound through our mouths (biting on a pencil) and saw how different colored lights became white, as well as many other cool experiments. See the pictures that I have uploaded of some of the activities.
