Over the last few weeks, SK students have been busy investigating and exploring the concept of measurement!! We started by using non-standard units of measurement to measure and compare the length, height, and width of different objects found around our classroom. We even had a special Measurement Hunt where the kids chose different objects around the room to measure with their chosen unit of measurement (cubes, legos, paperclips, shoes, etc.) and then they documented their findings in a chart. We also had the opportunity to try measuring with rulers and many students were able to find the measurements quite accurately!! We also explored others types of measurement such as weight, capacity and temperature; through sensory and hands-on experiments, the kids compared a variety of objects and determined if they were heavy or light, empty or full, hot or cold, and so on. Check out the photos below….
This Friday, June 23rd is our last Dress Down Day of the year! We will be following the JKs lead and collecting tzedakah for the Ottawa Regional Cancer Foundation. Don’t forget your loonies and toonies!! That afternoon, we will be joining the whole school to watch the Grade 8s vs Staff Baseball Game. Please ensure that your child has a hat and is dressed appropriately for the weather as we will spending a good part of the afternoon outside!
Next Tuesday, June 27th, by popular request, SK will be having a special Pyjama Day to celebrate the end of our year together. The kids can come to school in their summer cozies, bring their stuffies, and we will have a special treat!!
As we wrap up our year in SK, we will be sending home the kids’ work and other things at school between now and next Wednesday. If you know that your child will be ending the year a few days early, please let us know so that we can ensure that everything gets where it needs to go!
