Wow what an amazing week, hard to believe we are so close to the end of the year! This week we continued working on our Nose Hill slide shows:
We have been practicing our oral stories for the Learning Assembly, there are some amazing actors, drummers and story tellers in our class! Here we are outside in what we've called our outdoor amphitheatre. You've heard of Shakespeare in the park, well how about sharing circles in the park?
Here are some wonderful shots from our final community walk. Thank you again to our wonderful volunteers, you made it possible for us to continue our exploration. We couldn't have picked a better morning. The sun was shining and we were hungry for data nuggets. Amazing connections and real examples from our science curriculum, Plant Growth and Change:
Pond exploration - connections to filtration and aquaponics.
What is amazing about cattails? Just about everything!
We took the opportunity to rehearse our Trembling Aspen Story on the land. The birds were most appreciative!
The drum is the heartbeat of the land and has become the heartbeat of our class!

Check out the specimen that Ben found. What is your inference about the creature this belongs to?

Wow! Darcy was absolutely inspirational, we had such a deep conversation with him on Wednesday about the land that Evanston is built on. Ella and Chloe offered him the sage that we had found on our community walk and this set off a stream of stories connected to our learning. He shared with us that sage was the favourite food of the bison and this is why they were so abundant here in the past. It has many medicinal uses too, just ask your child about it.
This afternoon we were experiment with MIRAs to explore symmetry.
