An Interactive Moon Phase Activity!



Today we learned about the phases of the Moon and how long its cycle takes. We used Oreo cookies to help us recognize that the moon phases are regular and predictable. Ask your child to describe the cycle of its phases (beware, they may ask for cookies!)

Some of our questions changed after doing some research. We have to use flexible thinking because maybe the model that we had in mind doesn't work, so we have to change it to make it work. At the end of every work period we write in our log books.

My question has changed after doing some research. It is now why do planets orbit. This relates back to my original question because the answer is be...

The Canmore Museum

The Canmore Museum By Maddy     Last week, the grade 6’s went to the Canmore museum. We talked about some characters that lived in Canmore.  Each person had a twin that was the same character.

The trip was very good.
