Thank you to Gabby's mom and Kalvin's mom for volunteering during swimming. We couldn't have done it without you !





            Today was our last day of swimming!  

We went on the safari water park....    Ask me about my adventure

We reflected...... on what we did today to make our lesson better

After swimming, we thought about the techniques that we used..... to improve our swimming

and how we practiced them. Ask me about my favourite part ......

                                           the easiest part...

                      Ask me what I did today to be more successful....

We  and came up with a few ideas......

• I was less scared to go into the water
• I felt confident and safe in the water
• I listened and followed instructions
• I stayed close to my instructor instructor
• I kept my eyes closed under water and they didn't bother me
• I tried opening my eyes in the water
• I jumped in the water without being scared
• I tried to swim with my head out
• I tried to float on my back
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  Ask me what was my favourite part .... the water slide
  
  
  We read a few pages from the book,
  
  
                                  
  
  
                                        Ask me if this is fiction or non-fiction
  
  Ask me if this is happening to our beans..
  
  
  
  Ask me what happens to the stem and the roots
  stem sprouts out.. and roots grow down into the soil
  
                         Just like in the video.... our beans skin is peeling off
  
                      long stem..... did you observe if our bean stem was wobbly...
  
                                    We were so excited to see our leaves sprout...
  
  
  
  
  Basil leaves sprouting...
  
  
  We read the book, Mouse Looks out
  
  
  
                   Read this to me and ask me to listen for the rhyming words
  
                          Who is the predator?                        Where is the mouse hiding...
                     Ask me to point to the prey..              The mouse is camouflaged
  
  
   
                                           Ask me to look for the cats eyes..
  
  
                  We did some journal writing. Cut  a pepper... what do we see....
  
                                It is unique.... it has a baby pepper growing inside
                                      We did an experiment..... using our 5 senses
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
                                     Ask me what did it feel and smell like
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  We read the book,
  
  
   Ask me how do plants feed me..
  
   Ask me to point to lettuce and spinach         Ask me how do lady bugs help
                                                                 the plants... they eat aphids... 
                                                                        What do aphids do?
  
  
  Ask me to tell you which plant grow above the soil and which plants 
                          grow under the ground
  
  
                       
                              Ask me how are worms helpful..
  
  
  
    Where do these grow above or under the ground
  
                   How do plants feed us....
         Thanks,
                                       Mrs. Malik
