This week I introduced the next inquiry project about owls in Grade 4 Science. We spent some time researching different kinds of owls, learning interesting facts and listening to their different calls. Students then picked an owl they were interested in learning more about and on Thursday they chose how they would like to present this information using the "Owl Research Choice Board" below. The classroom is buzzing with excitement as students get excited planning their projects! We can't wait to get started!
100 Book Reading Challenge
We met our goal! On Friday, students colored in the 100th book on our "100 Book Reading Challenge" tracking sheet. Scholastic will help us donate books to kids in need if we reach our goal by May. We only have 4 more books to go! Whoo - hoo!! I'm so happy to spend my days with these rockstar readers!
Children's Rights
This week we have also been learning about the Rights of the Child document, which has led to many thoughtful, interesting conversations in our classroom. Each student is creating a poster to explain these rights and their purpose to others.
Granny's Giant Bannock!
After reading Granny's Giant Bannock by Brenda Wastasecoot, we wanted to make bannock too! On Friday afternoon, Mrs. Faulconer and I surprised the class with a cooking lesson and the bannock was delicious!
Our Proud Wall Has Never Looked "Friendlier"!
