Body Science

These two worked on this for a long time this morning and were very proud of their accomplishment. The photos do not show how cool their construction was.

So many interesting conversations were happening this morning. It was lovely listening to the kids talk together, sharing ideas and experiences.

Here's a better look at the building.

many others wanted to get in on the picture too

these girls were making their own laptops today. Very impressive and great practice writing letters and numbers with a purpose!

We went into the library with the other Kindergarten classes this afternoon to learn about body science. Our presenter was not Saleema Noon (as I had originally told you) but someone from her team. We covered a lot of information in 30 minutes. I would be interested to know what kinds of things your children remembered from the presentation.

Here are some books that were on display in case you are looking for useful resources to support conversations at home.

We had an assembly to learn about the Jump Rope for Heart program this afternoon. Pledge forms will be coming home tomorrow. Please look through them and let me know if you have any questions. Our school will be holding our Jumping event on Valentine's day (February 14th) this year. More info will come home soon.

Please take a look at the email I sent today with information about our visit with Saleema Noon (tomorrow) on "body science" and the 100th day of school and Valentine's Day. Who knew February was so busy?!?!
