DIY Slime: A Hands on Procedural Activity

Image
Our slime making was a success! Today as a class we read through, step by step, how to make slime. Then students watched and helped me make 3 separate batches of slime. With each batch I explained, in detail, how to complete each step. We made sure to include important steps like cleaning up after ourselves and discussed how to play with slime appropriately (i.e. not getting it on our clothes, the carpet or in our hair.). Once our slime was all cleaned up we moved to an independent activity, writing our final procedural text. Students each received their own small bag of slime to take home. Thanks for a great day Gr.3's! Step 1: Add all your ingredients...       Step 2: Mix really well! Step 3: Kneed and play with your slime!!                    It was my first time making slime, but I absolutely loved this site and the finished product! So, I attached the site if you are interested. DIY Fluf...

Science Experiments: Forces!!

Image
In collaboration with Mrs. Sloan's Gr.3 class, our gr.3's circulated through a variety of Science experiments. Each center involved a hands on experiment that focused on the different forces we encounter in everyday life. Take a look... Students had to use a variety of materials to create a boat and see how many dice their boat could hold before it sank. At another center, students were given a marble and a variety of materials. The challenge was to find a way to slow down a marble that they drop. Students were very creative! Students were also given a shoe box and a balloon, along with a variety of materials and had to see how far they could make their shoebox go.

Education Week

Education week is fast approaching! It is a busy week, so I've outlined the events below: Monday:  School wide mass at St. Patrick's Fallowfield Church. The Book Fair runs all throughout Education Week. Our grade 3 class will be going to the fair to buy books on Monday afternoon. The students will have a chance to walk through and preview books this week to see if they are interested in any of the books presented at the Book Fair.  Tuesday: The Kingdom Club is running a pajama drive during this week and wanted this message passed along: During the week of May 14th - 18th, St. Anne will be supporting the Pyjama Patrol by asking families to donate a pair of pyjamas for children who may not own any. If you would like to participate, please bring or send in a new pair of children-sized pyjamas, OR a donation can be made through School Cash Online. Then have your child wear pajamas to school on Tuesday, May 15th for a “thank you” Pyjama Day! We look forward to seeing ev...
