Today we spent time in Health discussing what causes us worry/anxiety and the physical symptoms that can go along with it. In Science, we continued our work with wetland food webs and began exploring the five main types of wetlands (bogs, fens, marshes/sloughs, shallow water, and swamps). In Social Studies we prepared info cards that will accompany our cultural artifacts in the museum the grade 5 classes are setting up in the learning commons tomorrow, and also had some time to share about our artifacts. It was so interesting to see the diverse and unique artifacts that students brought to represent their families and cultures! We are looking forward to our artifact museum tomorrow morning. We also continued working on our oil pastel aurora borealis art, some of which will already be up on display during the literacy night tonight.
