Mirrors, Prisms, and Rainbows

This morning students practiced handwriting; found as many little words in Fluorescence as they could (students easily found over 40 words!!); and, in Science, experimented with mirrors, flashlights, prisms, lenses, see-through colour swatches, and tin foil. Afterward their free experimentation time, students shared and wrote about what they discovered. They had an awesome time discovering properties of light on their own and a lot of learning took place.

After recess, students finished writing about their Science observations. Choir students went on a field trip with Mrs. Awalt to sing at City Hall and they even met the mayor! Students from Mrs. Carlton’s class who were not in Choir joined the remaining students in our class and we completed oil pastel winter silhouettes. They are beautiful and are on the bulletin board by the office, behind the fish tank.

Monet Summaries and Monet-Inspired Art

Choir students came back after lunch, when the other students were silent reading. Students had Music and then finished their Monet art and other unfinished work (2 things for Science) for the rest of the day. The Monet art is stunning and is displayed outside of our classroom beside the students’ summaries of Monet’s life.

Reminder: Please return your Nights of Home Reading forms. Students are working towards earning an extra recess time, so please remind the students to do their part by reading each night (and it will improve their reading skills too, which will also help them do better in school!) and returning the forms.
