Playing at the River

This afternoon we enjoyed some playful inquiry at our Maple Ridge River. Some of us got VERY wet through splashing and watching the water move. However others were intrigued in watching the water flow down the drain. This led to a desire to build several dams across the river to stop the water from filling the drain. We are now reflecting on new questions, theories and observations we have from this experience.
 We were presented with an interesting question today in Math around going to the store and leaving with $6. What could we have bought?


3 Things We Learned Today:
1. "In Science I learned that mud is kind of good to keep water out." O.S.
2. "In Math we got a new math problem and we were trying to figure out how much money Maria spent and what she got at the aquarium store." O.F.
3. "In Science I learned how to explain using pictures and words what happened when I zoomed in." S.M.

Reminders:
1. Tomorrow is a half day. Students will be finished at 12:30pm.
2. We are looking for a volunteer or two to walk with our class to the bridge (crossing the river) near the dog park on Southland Drive. This will extend our learning around water, rivers, etc. Please let me know if you are available. It will most likely be the afternoon of either Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday from about 1:30-3:00pm.
