Que Pasa
Que Pasa forms need to be returned tomorrow if families wish that their child take part in the presentation. Last year, there was no additional costs to parents (field trip money or food cost) as it was covered by schools and funds for the event. We hope it will be the same this year. We are currently gathering information for the number of students who will participate from Rosscarrock school to better coordinate the day. Please note that if choosing not to return the form tomorrow there is no guarantee that your child can join at a later date. Logistically, schools will be planning for busses etc using the information collected tomorrow and will account for students who filled out the form. Some families may still be deciding, I would suggest handing in the signed form tomorrow. If families change their mind and do not wish their child to participate, then we can adjust. By handing in the form tomorrow it would remove the possibility of your child not participating, if there is a change of mind at a later date. Today's Learning: Today we had Scientist Mark come to our classroom this morning. Students learned about the 5 senses through experiments he conducted with students using each of the senses. First students looked at different pictures to learn how our eyes see perception and depth. Next students, closed one eye and tried to bring two fingers fingers together. Scientist Mark talked about the eye and how we see. He also used a tuning fork and aluminum foil to see the vibrations of sound as students learned about the ear drum and hearing. The next experiment involved the sense of taste. Students tried different liquids and identified on their tongue bitter, sweet, salty, sour and savory tastes. Then students learned about smell and did an experiment to identify to scents like lemon, cinnamon, mint, etc. Scientist Mark ended his presentation with the feeling sense. Inside a sock there were items students felt with their hands and made guesses about what was in them. Below are a few photos of our morning.
