April 15-19, 2024

What do roly poly bugs and Ozobots have in common? Keep reading! This week we had 2 new experiences for our students. While the Busy Beavers learned about bugs, the Mighty Moose followed the pathways of the Ozobots, little robots designed as an introduction to coding. Then the classes switched activities on the Tuesday. 

Our guest presenter Lady Buggy guided our hands-on learning about bugs, how they move, and where they live. We followed the pathways of roly poly bugs and created exciting bug trail art!  Huge thanks to our volunteers for coming out to support our work with Lady Buggy  we cannot host special events without you...

*I can identify objects that move.
*I can identify objects that do not move.
*I can observe and imitate how animals (bugs) move.
*I can identify ways objects, humans, and other animals can move or be moved.













 








Ozobots - computer coding fun! Students use colour combinations to move the ozobot on a path from one location to another.

    *I can identify when actions do not match instruction.
    *I can match an action to an instruction.
    *I can follow a sequence of two steps related to a learning experience. 
    *
I can identify differences in outcomes when the order of two steps is changed.









 





Earth Day is April 22...We used Todd Parr's, The Earth Book to inspire us to create art to celebrate our beautiful earth. Students will share more ideas of how we can care for the Earth next Monday.  What choices can we make to help nature and animals?  
















Imagination Writing
This week we focused on using our imagination for ideas and writing! We read "Grumpycorn" and discussed ideas for our imagination pocket! We brainstormed some great ideas for our awesome stories from our imaginations. Flying mermaids looking for treasure, dragons blowing fire, being invisible, unicorns, castles, and more! Here are a few of our sample planning sheets.
