Inuksuk Balancing
Using a collection of found rocks, we tried creating Inuksuks, remembering balance rules we talked about during an experiment in the carpet. It was tough to get them tall but those who stuck with it were able to build Inuksuks with four or five levels!
Summer Trees
Finishing off our Seasonal Trees, we started work on our summer trees. We kept the trunks brown, but used three different types of green to create big, leafy tops and lots of grass around our trees.
Upper-Case & Lower-Case Match
At our Printing Centre, we worked on attempting lower case letters, practicing them alongside the upper-case letters. We then matched upper and lower-case letters, trying to figure out which ones were the same, even if they didn't look it.

Song of the Week
Five Little Ducks
Five little ducks went out one day,
Over the hills and far away.
Mother duck said "Quack, quack, quack, quack, But only four little ducks came back.
(Song continues until no little ducks come back)
Over the hills and far away.
Mother duck said "Quack, quack, quack, quack, But only four little ducks came back.
(Song continues until no little ducks come back)
Sad mother duck went out one day,
Over the hills and far away.
Mother duck said "Quack, quack, quack, quack,
And all of the five little ducks came back.
Other Things We Did
On Friday, we went to Withrow Park with our Reading Buddies for our Books In The Park day! We took along some of our favourite books, had our parent volunteers and teachers act out 5 Little Ducks, got to hear our Reading Buddies perform "Bananaphone", and we also got to play in the Withrow playground! It was a beautiful day and thank you to all the adults who came to help us out!
We talked about balance while making our Inuksuk and tested whether it was easier to balance flat rocks or heavy rocks (flat won!) and whether we should put heavier rocks on top or lighter rocks on the top (lighter worked better) to create a tall, tall structure.
We kept talking about some of the differences we saw in summer compared to spring.
After learning "5 Little Ducks", we asked an important questions - what did those five little ducks do all alone on the other side of the hill? We drew pictur 5 ducks in them, and then tried to write some of their ideas as well!
During Show & Share, we saw a Lego Power Ranger, a starfish and shell, a walking, dalking, dancing robot, and some street chalk!
We continued counting up the cubes for our class sunflower and counting down the days to the end of school!
