We have been busy working on our Alberta native plant research. Next week, we'll be creating our artistic renderings of their life cycles! Stay tuned for some exciting updates.

Reminders:
- Math Assessment tomorrow on patterns and number relationships

OH Ranch tomorrow! Dress for the weather and be prepared for muddy ground. We recommend layers, hats, scarves, and gloves for wind protection. It is colder at the site than in the city and we will be outdoors for a large portion of the day.

Looking forward to an incredible day!

Highlights:
- In music, we had a little bit of drama today (PS)
- We had a substitute teacher for music (SF)
- We sorted our questions from Fish Creek Park (AF)
- We sorted the questions and read more The Land of Stories. We've been talking about Rapunzel (AM)
- In gym, we played the Centipede game (BO)

Reminders:
- Field study forms due this week.
- A letter from Mr. Emery was sent home today
- Ask me about my Alberta plant research project and my choice of native plant to learn about.

Highlights:
- In gym we learned the chest pass for basketball (MH)
- We did a math assessment (SF)
- Our plant experiment plants got tipped over again :( (ER)
- Many of the plants are growing! We will do a detailed observation of the growth from the different conditions tomorrow.

Reminders:
- Photos that were ordered were sent home today.

Highlights
- We observed our growing alfalfa plants! (HW)
- We drew a sketch of a giant sunflower (SF)
- We are reading the Land of Stories (PS)
- Today we started Writer's Workshop (ER)
- We did our sunflower investigation which involved writing, measuring, and estimating (EM)
- Some of our alfalfa sprouts got dropped on the floor :(
- We played camouflage outside (BO)

Reminders
- No school Friday

Highlights:
- We shared with our class our Hull's Wood questions (RS)
- We found a huge sunflower in our classroom! (LJ) (someone left it for us...)
- We have been planning an experiment to look at different conditions for plants.
 - Today was day 2 of our Plant Experiment (VS). Some of the variables are: no CO2, no light, love, no water, heat, cold, no fertilizer, no space, no dirt, no water, classroom light. So far, none have sprouted. We will watch every day to see if there is a difference between them.
- We are also doing another experiment where we touched a piece of bread with our 'unwashed' hands, and then Ms. Brandley touched a piece with her cleanly washed hands, and one not touched at all. We're watching to see if there is a difference between how they rot (RJ)
- Today we did some new math (PS)




Reminders:
- Ms. Brandley will be at First Aid Training tomorrow. There will be a substitute teacher.
- Those that ordered from Scholastic for September, books arrived and were sent home today.
