Dear Mom and Dad:
We had a busy day today! We read different books today about
seeds. Ask me to tell you what I learned. We shared our ideas and recorded them
with “What we know about seeds”.
We cut our pumpkins in halves and sketched what we saw. We then
listened to a story called “How many seeds does a pumpkin have?” and came up
with some ideas of how we can count seeds. We talked about counting them by
ones, twos, fives and tens. We then got a chance to explore and count all of
the seeds. I worked at table groups to come up with an efficient way to count
my seeds.
In the afternoon we thought about what we know now about
seeds and then came up with some wonder questions. There were so many great
wonders and this will be the start to our seed inquiry.
We had dance in the afternoon with Mrs. Natalka. We danced
to thriller and worked in groups to come up with our own dance routines. Ask me
to show you some of the moves I used.
We sang happy birthday to all of our October birthdays. Happy
Halloween and have a great weekend!
Question of the day: Post on the blog a fact about seeds
that you discovered.
Love,
The Rainbow Triad

We
are going on a field trip to the Telus Sparks Centre on Wednesday November 19
for the entire school day. We will need volunteers, please let your child's
teacher know if you would like to volunteer. We will be sending field trip
forms next week with all of the information. Thank you very much! ** Mrs. Ly’s
class currently has no volunteers at the moment for this fieldtrip, if you
would like to join us please e-mail lmnguyen@cbe.ab.ca. Thank you.
We
will be starting our inquiry for building in a few weeks. We are looking for
materials that students can experiment with. If you, or your neighbors have
items such as: cereal boxes, paper towel rolls, coffee tins, pringle cans,
cardboard etc. Anything that we can build with! We will be asking students to
bring these items on the week of November 12. It would be great if you could
start collecting now. Thank you!
Sam says some seeds grow on the outside and some grow on the inside. Sam wonders why seeds come in different sizes....something for us to look up this weekend :)

ReplyDeleteThat in pine cones are hiding little seeds. When they pine cones fall to the ground the seeds fall out and go into the ground and grow new pine trees.
ReplyDeleteI discovered how seeds can travel by animals eating them and when they poop the seed grows there.
ReplyDeleteSeeds can also travel by sticking under shoes
