Today in math we did some extra practice with fractions using a group. We created our own gumball machines, colouring gumballs based on the key that was given to us. Then, we chose three colours for another gumball machine and coloured. the gumballs however we liked. We then wrote the fraction that represented each different colour of gumball. We will have our show what you know for fractions early next week.

We did a review of building and testing materials in science. We will have our show what you know for that unit tomorrow.

We wrote another opinion paragraph today about which fruit students thought was better, strawberries or grapes. Next week we will be starting a new novel study on the book "How to Eat Fried Worms".

REMINDERS/UPDATES

- today was a very blustery, cold day and many students arrived unprepared for the weather. Please ensure that students are coming prepared for the unexpected spring weather in Calgary!

- please ensure that if your child is coming to school with a bike or scooter, that they also have a lock to ensure it does not get stolen while they are at school.

 I hope everyone had a restful and relaxing long weekend! In math, we worked on regrouping in place value (when there is more than 10 in the ones, tens, an hundreds, you have to "regroup" to make the number make sense). Ask your child about the activity we did with the cards and their math journals today. In social studies, we began learning about the land in Tunisia. When looking at Google Earth, we noticed that the Northern point of Tunisia is all green (so it must be forest or something!), the more central areas are mountainous and the south eastern corner is desert land. Ask your child what else they learned! We learned and practiced our s-blends today, which include an s followed by another consonant (sc, sl, st, etc). Have a nice evening!

Happy Wednesday! Today in science we brainstormed a list of ways to protect our ears. Each student chose one, and made a poster about it including the way to keep their hearing safe, and how it would help. In math we continued learning about how to solve for a missing number in an equation. Our show what you know is a little long, so we will work on it tomorrow and Friday. In language arts we learned about summarizing and completed a class summary about the story "When I Was Eight". Then students created their own summaries about the novel study How to Eat Fried Worms now that they are done the story. They made notes today, and tomorrow will turn it into a cohesive piece of writing!! We also did some more work with alliteration today and the kids have been having a great time coming up with their own tongue twisters! We had our last fire drill of the year today and the students did an excellent job, exiting and entering the building quickly and quietly a well as remaining qui...

Tomorrow we will be doing our show what you know for 3D Shapes! Next week, we will be moving onto multiplication! Earlier this week in science, we learned about how animal mothers meet their offspring's needs. Today, we learned all about animal mothers who abandon their babies and the reasons why they would do so. While sometimes it seemed a little bit harsh, we realized that the reasons for doing so were actually quite logical and reasonable! We also began to learn about different types of habitats and will be doing some research on those next week. We wrote our story outlines today to come up with a logical sequence of events for the beginning, middle, and end of our stories. We did a practice run activity, using picture prompts to create a beginning, middle and end for someone else's story and the students did a fabulous job! The first Flames game is this evening - Go Flames Go!
