What a FUN week!

This week was sure fun!  We had a lot of visitors and did so much!  We started the week off with a Scientist!  Scientist Maria came and reviewed the different materials we use to build structures.  We learned that the triangle was actually the strongest shape.  We also made stools out of newspapers!

Then we had a dairy farmer come in and make butter with us!  That was super cool and yummy!

We also had our trip to the Ontario Science Centre!  We saw lots of neat things and enjoyed the exhibits.  A big THANK YOU to Han's mom, Prestha's mom, and Noah's dad for coming with us on our trip!

Finally, we ended the week off with PLAY DAY!  It was a really good week - don't forget to study your spelling words for our Spelling Bee on Monday!!  :D
