Someone Catch my Socks!

I wanted to share some of the poems that the students have been creating.  Today's poem is written by Megan.  Enjoy!

 

Someone Catch my Socks!

 

Someone catch my socks,

before I throw a bunch of rocks!

My socks have flown the hatch,

you do know they are very hard to catch!

 

I opened the door,

and they fell on the floor!

They said I would pay,

for making them stay.

 

I started to run,

and it started to be fun!

But then they came back,

And I said I would hack!

Silly Cells

Welcome Back!  I hope that each of you had a wonderful break and a blessed Easter weekend remembering Christ's gift to us.  It sure was great to hear the excitement from the students this morning.  They sure seemed happy to see all of their friends again, and to swap stories from the last two weeks.  I thought I would post a few pictures of the Silly Cell science workshop that the students participated in just before Spring Break.  The students enjoyed a visiting guest scientist and got to take part in some hands on science activities.

Kitchen Cells

Our current theme unit is titled Diversity of Living Things.  As part of this unit, students learn about the parts of a cell and compare plant and animal cells.  They also have a great time making kitchen cells.  The students create a model of a cell using things typically found in the kitchen.  A few of these cells actually got eaten at the end of the science class.

This and That

It has been a busy week here in 6B!  Here is a glimpse of what we've been up to.

Exploratories:

The students have been enjoying their exploratory classes on Friday afternoons.  Today is the last class for this session, with the next round happening in May.  It has been wonderful to see the students having so much fun participating in a variety of activities including cooking, taking the babysitting course, making skim boards, playing strategic boardgames, learning about photography, and creating jewelry.

Visitng Japanese Students:

Last Thursday, we had a group of Japanese students visit our school and spend the afternoon teaching the class origami and how to write in Japanese.  The students made a variety of projects including paper cranes, flowers, and airplanes.  The Japanese students also sang a traditional song for us.

Learning with Microscopes:

Yesterday, the class visited the high school biology lab for a special lesson on using a microscope.  The students were partnered with grade 11 students and were able to look at some pretty cool things under the microscopes including and onion skin, hair, and a cheek cell.
