Ms. Law's Classroom

Dear Parents, I hope you all have a wonderful and restful long weekend with your families. I am a bridesmaid at a wedding, so I will be having a busy one. :) Please know that if I am not responding to messages between Thursday and Sunday this week, it is because of all the events surrounding the wedding. I should be back on track come Monday afternoon. A few notes regarding this week and next week: Wednesday - We made kindness notes for our friends in the school, which went very well. The grade 3s were in to help us, the grade 4s did their kindness jars (including one for all the kindergarteners in Ms. Law's class) in their own class, and even Mrs. Vigna's class joined to make some kindness jars for the staff. It was a great way to show kindness and love to everyone in the school to celebrate Valentine's Day.

And finally the rest of the science unit activities have been finished - for now! We were very lucky to have Mrs. Yates to come in to talk to us about hibernation. We learned, for example, that bears don't go to the bathroom when they hibernate... their pee is converted in energy for them to use! Wow! Mrs. Yates also brought in a bear fur and some skulls of various animals that hibernate, including a bear and a bobcat.

This week we only managed to fit in two science days due to some last-minute rescheduling. The first was Mad Scientist day, of which there unfortunately were no pictures taken due to how much fun we were having! We had a sensory walk station where the kids walked through bins of things from beans to shaving cream. There was a rock station, a magnet station, a measuring station, and a station where budding scientists got to mix various items in test tubes and see what happened. Next day was Detective / Forensic Scientist day. There was a fingerprinting station, a lip print station (many lysol wipes were used in the cleaning of the lipstick tubes :D), and a station where the kinders had to figure out a mystery powder using the senses of sight and touch. fingerprinting station
