ECOSYSTEMS PROJECT Friday was a full day of learning! The school year started about a month ago. Expectations and routines were created and set. Students understand what is expected of them and their learning. The Big 6 Learning Principles is alive and well in division 1! It is shaping up to be an excellent school year! This morning we started the day with our individual class photos and then put the final touches on our plant I.D. projects. In the afternoon, we collected organisms for our ecosystems project by finding specimens from the schoolyard!
