Learning Intention: Physical changes to objects do not change what the objects are made of. 

Learners ripped paper, physically changing its properties, to create their snowman. They were able to describe physical changes such as shape, texture, and size.

After listening to the story, Sneezy The Snowman, students brainstormed ways a snowman could melt. We discussed that snow melting was also a physical change!

Learning Intention: Investigate animal behaviour throughout the seasons, including hibernation. 

Learners learned that bears hibernate in the winter, and enjoyed creating a cozy cave for their hibernators.

LITERACY

Learners enjoyed auditory drill Graffiti. They had to write the letter that matched the sound given, and then erase the name of the letter given.

NUMERACY

Learning Intention: Comparisons of quantity can be described by using the symbols <, >, or =.

Learners played a game, FLIP, BUILD, COMPARE, building numbers with base ten blocks and comparing numbers to 20.
