On Tuesday, the Grade One classes took part in a Let’s Talk Science workshop called the Tree of Life. Science students from the University of Ottawa taught us about the different characteristics of animals. We then had fun sorting and classifying the plastic animals. This was the perfect introduction to an upcoming research project about animals in the winter.
We also had the chance to make our own Tree of Life.
In a unit on Data Management we have been making graphs and interpreting the data. Corn seems to be the favourite vegetable in Grade One. Cherries are a favourite fruit in 1B while 1A seems to prefer peaches.
The children are very excited to visit the Scholastic Book Fair next week. The flyer with some of the featured books came home in the note totes yesterday. 1A and 1B will visit the Book Fair on Thursday December 7th.
Save the date for our Family Chanukah Celebration. We have already started to practice the song we will be singing. It is a terrific one.
WHOA! Grade 1… you have been busy bees!
Thank you for sharing some insight as to what has been going on. You have all been working extremely hard. I have to agree with 1A in terms of their fave fruit!
Your science workshop looked like so much fun and I love that you had an opportunity to make your own Tree of Life.
Keep up the awesome work!
