JUMP ROPE FOR HEART UPDATE!
Hello ROS students, parents and guardians!
Our Heart and Stroke Foundation Jump Rope For Heart Fundraiser is well on its way. Our kick-off assembly last week got students excited to participate. Students are encouraged to continue collecting pledges until Wednesday, April 25th when we will have our Jump Rope for Heart Day event. The Jump Event will run from 1:30-2:30 on the 25th, our entire school will converge in the courtyard to skip, be active and have fun. Students are encouraged to bring their own skipping ropes if they have one to participate in this school-wide event. Thank you for your continued support!!

MAGNETISM

We explored 7 centers yesterday that all had tricky questions about Magnets for us to explore. We came up with a list of things we already knew about Magnets and what we still wanted to know.

Today we looked more deeply at the concepts of:

Magnetic Field



What is Magnetism?


Magnetic Attraction and Magnetic Repulsion were two vocabulary words we looked at and practiced demonstrating with different magnets:
