May 31 - June 4

We have been very busy participating in the Amazing Race CBE with 841 other classes and 18 000 students. Last week we travelled to Brazil and invited other classes to join us in our challenges. Our kinder buddies learned how to do the "wave" and participated with us in making a long line outside. This week we are back in Calgary and had to figure out the final message that was " We are better together".

 In math we have been exploring inequalities and equalities using the Pan Balances and interlocking blocks. 

 

In literacy this week we are continuing to work on story writing and adding descriptive details. Our stories range from creating a technological suit to allow our character to be in the daylight to a character who wants to dance. 

We also attended a live reading of Nibi's Water Song by the author Sunshine Tenasco. She shared how she got her ideas and how the character was named after her daughter. This story complimented our work in science on liquids.
