April Showers!

Spring has finally arrived... We can finally go outside without ski pants, we will celebrate Easter and Earth Day and we are in the final stretch of the school year! Check out our new art projects, our non-fiction animal posters, penpal writing and what we have been learning about in science. 

Our study of Lunenburg, Nova Scotia inspired us to create sailboat art!

It's raining, it's pouring!

Reading and writing all about a variety of animals.

Name that liquid...

We learned a few new words such as absorption, transparent, translucent and opaque.

We wrote back to our penpals at Royal School.

Easter math... the equations were hidden in the eggs.  We had to use magnifying glasses to find the tiny equations.

Find an egg and answer the question inside.

Animal Research and Habitats

We have been working tirelessly on our animal research and habitats over the past month. We have finally completed our non-fiction books, habitats and voice recordings of our non-fiction books. I am very proud of all the hard work my students have put into each project. They are eager to share what they have learned with their friends and families.I used Amanda Tervoort's non-fiction writing project template from TPT to create the non-fiction books. I also used a website called Voki to create the voice recordings. They are quite funny and we enjoyed listening to each of the recordings.

Writing out the "good copy" of the non-fiction book!

The finished product! Each student chose a different animal.

We worked with a wonderful artist that helped us create a zoo incorporating all of the Manitoba animals researched.

We planned out where each animal should go in the zoo.

The monarch butterfly habitat!

The tundra swan habitat!

The Arctic fox habitat!

We put the zoo together! Looks FANTASTIC!!
