Happy Holidays

We are getting ready for the Holidays. 

Thanks to the Swan Valley Stampeders 

for coming out to slide with us! 

SNOW MUCH FUN! 

Try this at home!

What's The Matter? Science Party

Today's "What's The Matter?" Science Party
was a huge success! 

We made a gas using vinegar, baking soda and a balloon.

We even did some colour mixing!
What happens when you mix blue and red jello?
It turns PURPLE! 

We enjoyed making and eating jello! 

We blew up balloons! 

And we watched Dr.Seuss' "Bartholomew and the Oobleck"

We explored all things solid, liquid and gas.
Each kiddo got some slime to take home
(made with BORAX), a balloon and we ate
some very yummy jello. 

12 Days of Gym Class

The 3 States of Matter

Science Homework

Today we learned about Matter.
We learned about liquids, gases and solids.
You can change states by making it hot or cold.
The students in 2B want to show our families this video
and try a science experiment at home.
To show your learning, take a picture or a video or
draw a picture of your experiment. 

Bring it into school by Friday, Nov. 22

Books Online

Have you heard of Vooks? 

There are so many different ways to enjoy books at home or while you are travelling! 

Vooks is a way we watch books come to life in our classroom.

Science Time

Our first unit in Science is about water! 

Syllables

Clap It Out with Blazer Fresh as you learn more about syllables. 

Patterns, Patterns Everywhere!

We are learning about patterns in math. 

Check out this great dance about patterns! 

Welcome Stampeders!

What is Scratch Garden?

You might have heard your little one at home singing a song and wondered, "What are they singing?" Well, we do our best to make learning FUN and one of the great ways to do that is through music and movement. Here is a great website for you to check out and sing along with your kiddo at home.

  

They will jump at the opportunity to show you their knowledge of  syllables (watch out for the salamander) 

or patterns 

or even long and short vowel sounds ! 

Get in the groove with these
 Monster Moves with the 
Koo Koo Kangaroo gang! 

What is Physical Literacy?

Physical literacy is about building the skills, knowledge and behaviours that give us the confidence and motivation to lead active lives.

Physical literacy gives you:

• physical skills and fitness
• the attitudes and emotions that motivate you to be active
• the knowledge and understanding of how, why and when you move
• the social skills to be active with others.
