Today we began a conversation around our Ecological Footprint. This concept came up during our field trip to the Ann & Sandy Cross Conservation Area- we made a connection to Sandy's Lookout where Sandy Cross could see the city of Calgary growing and approaching his land which is why he made the decision to make protect it by deeming it a conservation area. We had a discussion about the city of Calgary expanding the city limits and the type of demand that this puts on our land, and the plants and animals that live on our land.
Today we completed our work with the artifacts from the grasslands, which include a moose antler, elk antler, mule deer antlers and a deer jaw. Students applied various sketching techniques such as scumbling, stippling, and shading to add detail and realism to their work.
Please return Glenbow Museum field trip forms as soon as possible. We still require volunteers on the Wednesday, Thursday and Friday dates.
At the end of the day we worked on solving this engaging "Mashed up Math" word problem. This problem required us to solve for the unknown using our understanding of addition, subtraction, and doubles.
Have a great evening,
Mrs. Morden
