Highlights:
Did you know that some plants start
off as seeds and other plants start off as bulbs? Today we took a closer look
at a gladiolus bulb by making observations and recording them in a special
book. I wonder how long it will take
before our bulbs sprout?
Some of our class got to paint their
ceramic pots today. We learned that the
colour the “glaze” is in the jars will not be the final colour after they are
fired in the kiln. Mrs. Leung-Chow told
us what the colour will be… I guess we’ll just have to trust her!

Dream Box: Dreambox is an interactive math program that the students have been
working on here at school. We encourage
the students to log in at home and practice developing their problem solving
skills. Teachers are able to track their progress and see what areas they are
excelling in or that may need improvement. Here is the link: https://play.dreambox.com/login/dq8q/panoramahs
