April 13-17

Welcome back!  I hope everyone had a great break.  Just think, the next big break is summer holidays! 

Notes:
  • If you haven't returned the permission form for Art's Alive please do so ASAP.  Since it is a group piece and no student names will be given out this is really just a formality but we'd like to cross as many t's and dot as many i's as possible!
  • Splash Math is continuing their Springboard contest.  Our class' target is 2000 points.  We won't be going to the computer lab as we have Theme V at our scheduled time but I would like to set an at home challenge for the students.  Help us reach our target!  1 point for attempting a question and 10 points for a correct answer.  There are bonus points for answer streaks of correct questions (25 for 5 and 50 for 10).

Curriculum:
  • Math: Multiplying and dividing bigger numbers continued.
  • Language Arts:
    • Writing: We are starting a really fun unit this week learning about puns and humour in writing.
    • Spelling: Lesson 11 begins this week.
  • Science: Managing waste is more than just throwing things out and the students will learn more about that this week.
  • Social: Finishing the fur trade.
  • Health: Theme V is this week.  The students had their first lesson today and learned a lot.  Parents, you should be proud of them as they were respectful of the subject matter.  They have been strongly encouraged to discuss their new knowledge with you.  The next lesson is on Wednesday.
