Our Week May 16 - 20

Dear Families,

Here are some stories from our week. We have been busy!

Non-Fiction Fridays
We have had Non-Fiction Fridays for a couple of weeks now. Every Friday, we read a non-fiction book to learn new things about birds, spiders, sand, eggs, outer space, and tarantulas.  Non- Fiction means real life and information. We learned about robins last week and this week read a book called 'Actual Size'.  I wonder what we will learn about next week!

Marigolds
Our plants are growing...most of them - some are not yet, but we will be patient! Right now, they look like little sprouts. We water them each day!

Secret Science Lab

We are making a secret science lab in our Let's Pretend Centre. It is a place where you mix potions and test them out to see what happens. We have a mini microscope, tweezers, cups, and a scientist coat. We still need to make potions and bottles. We might even move our water centre into our science lab to help with our experiments! 
We have started to create safety rules for our Secret Science Lab. We need rules because some potions can be dangerous. We have goggles, gloves, and lab coats to protect ourselves. 


Mystery Box and Caterpillars
On Wednesday, we got mail from Boreal Science. It was a huge mystery box with a sign that said 'LIVE SPECIMENS'! 
We were so surprised that inside the box there were baby caterpillars! And they are so hungry. They are so small but they have already grown! The caterpillars are going to be Painted Lady butterflies! Painted Lady butterflies look like Monarch butterflies since they both have the same orange and black colours on their wings. 

Book Fair
Our class went to the book fair in our school library. We had fun looking at the new books and some of us bought books for home. 2 students also bought books for our class. The books are called 'Frogs on a Log' and 'Please Mr. Panda'. We really love both stories.

Track and Field
Some of us watched the big kids to Track and Field outside in the big field. We saw jumping and running races. We ate freezies too!
