Dear Parents,

What a great week we are having at Ken Taylor School.  We had a special guest; a mad scientist came and shared information about insects with us. The students looked at insects through microscopes, solved puzzles and sorted through various bugs.

We are conducting a water bottle flipping experiment this week.  The students have been predicting,measuring water in ml and strategizing to flip the bottle and have it land on it’s bottom.  The students record their data and transfer it onto a graph. Feel free to ask your child about how many ml of water had the most successful flips… Are their strategies to bottle flipping?

Dear Parents, Your child learned how to do his or her home journal through an email today. They were so excited about it!  Please keep in mind that they are just beginning to use a keyboard and are learning.  There are some great websites for you to use at home for them to practise their keyboarding skills.  Dance Mat Typing is one that you can try at home. You are welcome to send an email back to your child about their learning at school. www.dancemattypingguide.com/dance-mat-typing-level-1/stage-1/ We are going to begin to learn about Boats and Buoyancy on Monday. Practise home reading daily. Our two field trips have been approved.  We will be going to the Aboriginal Centre on May 29 and the Education Centre on June 8.  In order for the trips to happen, we will need volunteers. Please look for notices regarding these two field trips in the upcoming weeks. Sincerely, Mrs. Sayani
