Science In Our Daily LivesThis week we focused on observing the world around us. To practice our scientific thinking skills, we posed questions about the environment and figured out ways to collect data. The heavy haze in the air in recent weeks made us wonder "what is haze?" and "how does it affect us?" We learned about the air quality index and decided to track this data and observe the impact of the haze on our bodies and the environment. Furthermore, we collected plant samples outdoors to observe possible affects of the haze on plant life. We know that science is all around us and impacts our environment. Sharing Our HeritageIn Grade 2 we understand that sharing our heritage foster appreciation and open-mindedness. This week Eiji shared his knowledge of origami from Japan. He prepared a presentation on the history and significance of the art of paper folding. We had lots of fun learning how to make traditional hats from Japan. Then we were inspired by "sakura", Japanese word for cherry blossoms, and created our own art using mixed media. We learned that heritage is connected to our study of Who We Are and can be an important aspect of our identity.
