A morning in the Ladybugs

Ladybug class 2018-19
We start everyday with STEM boxes; each box contains a math,
literacy or engineering activity.


On Friday mornings, we gather as a school for
singing and presentations.
Math can take many forms, today's activity used pattern blocks
to introduce patterns and geometric shapes.




After morning recess, the Ladybugs and Bumblebees joined
together for a science experiment. 
We talked about the way a scientist performs an experiment;
we used safety equipment to be safe,
made some observations of our materials,
and then added vinegar to baking soda to see
what would happen.
We recorded our observations and conclusions.

By lunchtime, even the dog was tired.
