The 4 grades also printed and painted circles inspired by Kandinsky. Their work are beautiful! Come check them out! 

Bravo to all our talented students and to their art teacher Dasha!

Making Oobleck in English class

Have you ever made Oobleck in English class?

EFDM students made Oobleck, which is a non-Newtonian substance. The Oobleck has qualities of a solid and a liquid at the same time. 

Why did we make this in English class? 

Students finished reading Bartholomew and the Oobleck by Dr Seuss. They also finished a short creating writing activity inspired from the book. After that it was time to make Oobleck!

Below is the recipe of you would like to try this at home. If you do, make sure to squeeze it, pat it, and pull it! Have fun!

Oobleck Recipe:

6 cups cornstarch

3 cups warm water

Food coloring of your choice 

Mix well and enjoy!

Pumpkin picking with the PS and MS...

Our PS and MS students visited Wolfe's Neck Farm this week to pick up pumpkins. They first very quickly said bonjour to the sheep and cows! 

 Then, it was time to go pick pumpkins and they were very excited to go on the tractor's trailer!

 They we went back and took a little more time to look at the different animals : les moutons, les vaches, les poules...

How fun it was!
