We had a great week here in the grade 5 classroom.  The students were busy finishing up their Rube Goldberg machines and their final projects were AMAZING!!  I took pictures and videos of all of the projects and will post soon!  Here is some information about things coming up:

Little Hoopsters:  There will be NO Little Hoopsters next week due to an all-day conference at City Life church.

Service Day:  We will be making no-bake treats for Cyrus Center, a youth shelter here in Chilliwack on Tuesday, April 24th.  We have typically done muffins but the kitchen is being used on Tuesday, which means that our classroom will be transformed into a treat-making room!  Table groups have chosen their recipes and written down the ingredient that they are to bring to school on Tuesday.  **Please send the exact amount the recipe is asking for – ex. 1/2 cup of margarine.**  This will alleviate a lot of potential ‘craziness’ on Tuesday!

Lice Check Forms:  These need to be returned by Wednesday of this week.  As soon as you have done the lice check, please sign and return the form.

Talent Show Tryouts:  If your child has signed up to try out for the Art Gala talent show, their tryout will either be on Wednesday, April 25th (singing, dance, sports and other talents) or Thursday, April 26th (piano and other instruments).

Spelling: no spelling this week
