Maps and Countries

Hello People of Room 116!

For the past week Room 116 has been learning and writing about different countries. The students have expressed interest in learning about the different people of the world and about making maps. Please take some time during the next week or so to talk to your child about the country they live in, the country they are from, and/or the countries they have visited. On scrap paper at home encourage them to make a map to share with the class. Don't forget to add title, legend, and labels.

Room 116 welcomes any pictures you may have from your travels. Thanks!

Mr. Grady & Ms. Richa

Fruits and Vegetables!

Hello People of Room 116!

Since visiting the farm the students of 116 have expressed interest in learning more about food. Yesterday the students talked about different questions they had about fruits and vegetables. Here are some of your students inquiries:

-Why are fruits and vegetables different colours?

-Why do fruits and vegetable taste different from each other?

-Which is the biggest fruit? Which is the biggest vegetable?

Please take some time to research these questions with your child. Encourage them to draw or write their ideas and bring them to school to share with the class.

Here is a website about fruits and vegetables they can try at home:

Pumpkin Patch!

Hello People of Room 116!

Thanks again to all the parents who volunteered to come on the trip today. I also apologize to any parents who wanted to go on the trip, but were turned away because there was no room left on the bus.

It was cold and muddy, but Room 116 did an amazing job! Here are some pictures:
