There have been a lot of questions about Valentine's Day! With it being such a unique year we have adapted how we will do Valentine's Day. We know the importance of honouring the day and recognizing friendship and for this reason, we will still allow students to exchange cards. Here is what you need to know for the exchange:
1. You do not have to hand out cards but if you do, please make sure everyone gets one
2. You can find the names of each student in our Google Classroom under "People"
3. No candy, food etc
4. All cards must be at school by Feb. 5 in order for them to quarantine in the class.
5. Students will hand them out on Feb 10 (Feb. 11, 12 are non-instructional days for Teacher's Convention)
Today your child should have come home with a model of the layer's of Earth. We have been learning about the different rocks, how they are formed and what the rock cycle is. The layer of the earth are key to understanding that, so today we watched a short SciShow video: Earth's Layers. Then we reviewed each earth and drew a diagram of the earth in our visual journals. Finally - we used plasticine to actually make a mini-version of these layers. They were thrilled when I cut them open and they could see all the layers. The classroom was buzzing with excitement and they loved comparing theirs with their peers!
