The weeks seem to be flying by!  Although we had a short week this week, we still managed to get a lot accomplished!  Here is an overview of what we did this week:

Math:  We continued our learning of fractions with a focus on building equivalent fractions.  Next week we will work on ordering and comparing fractions.

Writing:  Students wrote a comparative essay this week, following the both, same, different, end writing structure.  They compared two items of their choice and I was impressed with the writing that I saw!  Next week we begin our poetry unit.

Reading : We’re halfway through our novel study now. This week we had some great ethical discussions relating to the book and students wrote a chapter summary.

Social Studies: The class had the chance to reflect on a political cartoon from 140 years ago and pretend to tell the illustrator what they think the cartoonist should know about racism.

Art: We practiced using water colour pencil crayons this week. Our focus was on blending and shading.

A Few Reminders…

Beach Day on Wednesday:  Students can come dressed up in their favourite beach wear!  Shorts and t’s, tank tops etc.  The weather should even be nice on Wednesday!

Interim Reports:  We will be sending these out on Friday, April 23rd.

Little Hoopsters & Little Diggers:  Please continue to pick students up after school at regular time and provide your own supervision until programing starts. Again, thank you so much for your cooperation in these strange times! We are all doing our best to provide our best for students within the current limitation.
