Eco-Art with Sheila McPhee

Posted May 18, 2012

Our Eco-Art pieces are finished and ready for the world! We were so lucky to have Sheila McPhee come in and share her expertise with us. http://www.thegreenguardian.ca/ We learned that one person's trash can be another's treasure! Take a look at our own version of Sheila's Atlas the monkey. We took one of Sheila's great ideas and made it our own.

This was our first real experience with Eco-Art but we won't be stopping here. We had a lot of fun doing this and we hope you enjoy our Eco-Art pieces.

Our Praying Mantises have hatched and they are really cool! Take a look at some of the amazing photographs capturing the live hatching process of Praying Mantis nymphs. All pictures were taken by KCS students! Special thanks to Morgan for lending us her iPod.

Also included are the pictures from our visits to the other KCS classrooms.

Tomorrow's Field Trip to the Mactaquac Beaver Pond

Posted May 15, 2012

Dear Grade 3/4 Parents and Guardians,

 

Just a reminder that we are headed to the Mactaquac Beaver Pond tomorrow first thing in the morning. We will be back at the school before the students head for home. Please make sure that your child is equipped with the proper rain gear (rubber boots, rain coat, change of clothes) as we will be going rain or shine. We are truly excited for this event. Thanks to the parent volunteers for helping out!

The Wayfarer's Pouch

Watch this video!

In an attempt to strengthen our ability to “hook” a reader into our stories, using effective word choice and strong, unique voices, we have created individual Book Trailers to promote our personal narratives. Book trailers are just like the traditional movie trailers you see on TV but for books instead of movies. We have enjoyed working with a variety of technological tools to accomplish this fun and enriching activity and we have learned how to use a few new computer programs in the process. I think it is safe to say that every student has benefitted from this experience and strengthened his or her own love for writing. Watch "The Wayfarer's Pouch" by Aidan A.
