Friday, January 22

 Hi parents,

We had a loud Friday today.

But it was still a good day all around. We practiced 2-digit addition, did a quick graphing activity, and had the spelling quiz. We watched a Wild Kratts episode about coyotes, which we learned are one of the most versatile and adaptive mammals out there! Coyotes can live in forests, deserts, cities, and just about anywhere in between. They have adapted to be able to survive by eating a wide range of different foods.

Ms. Thaxter led the students through an exploration of the properties of liquids, by making 'calming jars', using colourful water, oil, and sparkles. The students enjoyed shaking up the jars and watching the liquids mix and then separate. As is the case whenever we do anything fun, the room became loud, but everyone was happy and engaged.

Stay tuned for next week's spelling words!

Have a nice weekend,

Zac
