Mrs. Malik Grade 1 Agenda

Tuesday, May 13, 2014

Today we had an internal lockdown practice at 10:00 am. It took approximately 10-15 minutes. During this time all external doors were locked and a sign was posted outside on the front doors indicating that we were practicing a lockdown.
Everyone needs to feel safe at school. All our students did an awesome job of listening and following instructions. They were well aware of its importance, as it is a safety procedure that we need to follow incase of an emergency.
A letter was sent home, Please also take the time at home to review with your child the importance of practicing lockdowns and fire drills, to put them on ease that the schools's proirity is always their saftey. Thanks!

We read the book

Ask me how this bean is cut: vertically or horizontally?

Ask me how the beans felt?

I felt the Lima beans, they were sm.....

Looking at our Lima beans, some of us observed how the colour of our skin isdifferent.

Ask me how I am unique?

What did they smell like? Getting our beans ready to put them in a wet paper towel

Ask me about the shape of a Lima bean......

We measured one of our Lima beans to compare what happens to it when we give it water

Ask me the size of the bean?

Our predictions: "It will sprout." " It will sprout leaves." "It smelt fresh, will open up."

"It will swell up." " It will puff up and crack." It will plump up."

" It will get bigger." " The bean will change colour." " The roots will grow out."
