 Museum School - Seeing, Feeling, Writing

We had another great day at Museum School! We started the day by learning about different components of art such as colour, texture and composition. 



Next we choose 1 of 3 pieces of famous Canadian art to observe. We wrote about what we saw and how it made us feel. 



We choose our 3 favourite words from our descriptions and created new art based on those three words. I love how each piece is so unique!

 Pond Dip We had an amazing adventure down to Two-Toed pond on Monday afternoon. We didn't catch quite as many bugs as I had hoped but we still found some great little critters. Students had a chance to take on the role of entomologists and used their "isolation chambers," magnifying glasses, and identification sheet to help them learn about these aquatic bugs. We also practiced environmental stewardship by leaving nothing behind, treading lightly, and returning all our catches to the pond. Some of the aquatic creatures we found were damselfly larvae, minnows, backswimmers, boatmen, and a few other critters we haven't identified.
