Today was a big day! Students in both Grade 5 classes got to show their Heritage fair projects to the whole school. They’ve waited a long time to be able to do this. They did fantastic! @GearyGators

[Mr. B’s Class @mrbowering5]

It was an outside kind of day! We started off with an Easter egg hunt in our outdoor classroom and ended by taking down some observations in our science journals. Happy Easter! @GearyGators

Here are some more photos of the excitement from today @GearyGators

Our fish eggs have arrived! We have been given this wonderful learning opportunity thanks to the fish friends program. Students were very excited to see some eggs have already hatched! @GearyGators

As part of our grade 5 legacy project, students were asked to design a flag to represent our school. Here, students are discussing what elements they would like to see on the final design. We will then be discussing our top 5 choices with the other grade 5 class! @GearyGators

[Mr. B’s Class @mrbowering5]

There were some great conversations that came from this! All students were respectful & thoughtful when sharing their ideas.

[Geary Elementary @GearyGators]

Students in @mrbowering45 and @carrs_mr used clues from this photo to determine what animal had been captured in our trail camera a few evenings ago. They needed to use: knowledge of NB wildlife, inference, communication and perspective during their conversations.

[Mr. B’s Class @mrbowering5]

Students did a fantastic job with this!

[Geary Elementary @GearyGators]

@mrbowering45 class is starting a project on habitats. He and Ms. Durant worked together with the students to co-construct the criteria and guide their work process over the next few weeks. Students did a great job leading each other through this lesson.@Sandra_Herbst

We have been making use of our outdoor learning space over the last several weeks. What a fantastic way to reinforce numeracy concepts - from measurement to collecting materials to make our own division problems!

[Mr. B’s Class @mrbowering5]

We have been learning how to read time off an analog clock this week, and as part of an investigation we began, we decided to place sticks into the ground and orient them so that we could read the time like a sundial! We then compared what we observed with a real clock.

Couldn’t be more proud to be a 🐊 @GearyGators 😁

[Geary Elementary @GearyGators]

Congratulations to our fabulous grade 4/5 teacher, Mr Bowering. Here he is signing his permanent B contract. 🥳

[Geary Elementary @GearyGators]

This week students in Mr Bowering’s grade 4/5 class pulled the remaining vegetables out of our gardens and used some of them during their exploration time. Ss measured, asked wonder questions and dug into these garden treasures.

[Mr. B’s Class @mrbowering5]

Getting ready for the first week back to work. New year, new grade levels! Looking forward to seeing all @GearyGators again while practicing our new rules and procedures to keep everyone safe & healthy! Oh, and I also restocked my mask collection 👍

[Mr. B’s Class @mrbowering5]

@AinsRae @GearyGators It was certainly a fun and different year! Thank you so much for everything!

So thankful for @MicrosoftTeams to be able to have virtual sharing circles! Keeping the connection with peers is so important. I was happy to have been able to see and share with so many of the students today! #virtualsharing @GearyGators
