Classroom Learning
Our daffodils are starting to sprout from the bulbs we planted in the Fall! We were excited to see them sprout out of the ground. We measured and graphed their growth. We will continue to do this for the next few weeks.
We are continuing to practice our cartooning skills. This week we learned how to add speaking bubbles to our characters.
On Friday, we went to BC Place for the Rugby 7’s with some other classes from Beaconsfield, and other schools in the area.
While we were there, our region experienced an Earthquake. We didn’t feel it inside the thundering stadium! This is a good opportunity to plan your evacuation plans at home, and create or re-stock your emergency supplies.
The City of Vancouver offers free classes that might be helpful. Or simply view the video linked here: https://vancouver.ca/home-property-development/emergency-preparedness-education.aspx

We have been reading several books and having discussions about Black History, Black leaders, Equality, and Diversity.
