September 14 to 18


This week we went up to the field by the community garden.  Last week when we were looking at the tamarack trees we found what some of our classmates were calling acorns.  We learned that they weren't cones and went to explore a few oak trees that are up there.  We didn't get there before the squirrels, but we were able to find some of their left overs under the trees so we could see the difference between cones and acorns.  


This week we also learned about Terry Fox.  We learned about his courage and bravery.  We made paper collage art in our visual journals to show Terry on his run.  






On Thursday, we joined the rest of the school or the Terry Fox run.  It was a lot of fun and everyone did great!  They kept moving for the entire 30 minutes.
