IMPORTANT DRUMHELLER TRIP NOTICE:
In order to accommodate some families who were not able to attend the parent session last week, we will be hosting one more session on Thursday, February 25th at 7:30am. We will finish by 7:55am. A reminder that this is a mandatory meeting, as the Calgary Board of Education requires that teachers meet face to face with student guardians before an overnight trip. If a guardian is unable to attend this meeting your child will be unable to attend the fieldtrip. He/she will be assigned to another grade 4 classroom for the two days we are gone. We look forward to seeing you this week and are counting down the days to this very exciting learning opportunity for our students!
Please contact me immediately if you are unable to attend.
What Did You Learn in School Today?
Today we were trying to think and act like paleontologists! Students were given tubs of dirt and gravel. They had to meticulously sort through to find "dinosaur bones". We are going to finish our task tomorrow. Can we arrange the bones into a complete skeleton?
Home Learning
Watch the following video of Philip Currie. Why is it important to catalogue and take careful notes when excavating a site? What kinds of tools do you use to excavate bones? How can you safely transport the bones back to the museum for study?
