Students are learning about good research practices in reading class. This week, we have mostly focused on finding 'trustworthy' information, which means they can find the fact in more than one place. During this lesson, students interviewed each other and then analyzed their research. Which responses could they trust? Why? Which responses were opinions? Why? Which responses would require more research? Why?

Snail Fun
Mrs. Liddell used an iPad app called Stop Motion Studio Pro HD to take pictures over time and turn them into a video. This video she made is of snails over a 2-hour time period. Notice how the snails not only eat a lot but also how they move things. FUN!

Water Lily Art Project with Ms. Mac
Monet's Garden
Last month, we celebrated the work of Claude Monet. The students learned lots of things about this famous Impressionist. Inspired by his beautiful water gardens, my grade three classes tried to ‘bottle’ those beautiful colours with their waterlily project. Students covered bottle in various shades of blue and green tissue paper. They painted waterlilies on the bottles, trying to make it look like there was a hint of sunlight bouncing off the edge of the lily pads.
