Tomorrow the plebiscite will be held at our school.  As it will be difficult to move around and the gym will be used, we will be going for a walk to the storm water pond near the school.  Please ensure students are dressed for the weather.

Today the students used a photo from our coulee walk last week to explore measurement.  How many Justin's tall is the tree?  They estimated and then worked to find an answer to the questions.  Some students chose non-standard units such as blocks and hair pins, and others wanted to use standard units such as centimeters. 

The students were asked, "Who or What is in the Coulee?"  They then sorted all of their pictures/words into categories.  They chose, "Water", "Plants", "Animals", and "other".
