We spent some more time with our four pumpkins and students added some comparative vocabulary to their understanding of size. In their visual journals, students carefully sketched what they saw and how each pumpkin was different before add labels to identify which was biggest, smallest, and in-between.
After recess we stayed outside for Fresh Air Friday. We planted some tulip bulbs that were donated to our class from the Liberator Tulip Program supported by Ag for Life. These tulips were donated as "thank you" from the Dutch Liberation 2020 Society. They will be celebrating the 75th anniversary of the Netherlands Liberation in the spring of 2020. You can find out more about their plans here.
We then went inside and learned about a boy in Calgary, Cade, who is about to turn 7. We learned that he has been very sick and is hoping to get a lot of birthday cards for his birthday. We then worked on making cards for his birthday. I will deliver the cards to his teacher on Monday and she we will take them with her when she visits him on his birthday. If you're interested in learning more about the story, here is what was featured on CTV news.
