Week of April 3-7

It's not the most spring-like weather to start off the first week of April, but I'm sure winter will be done soon!  Lots of kids didn't have warm enough jackets to be outside for recess today.  This is a good opportunity to encourage kids to be responsible for looking out the window and checking the weather so that they can dress themselves appropriately for the day!

Notes:

• A letter is going home today requesting recycled items to build robots with!

Curriculum:

• Math: This week our exploration of decimals will include looking at equivalent decimals in the tenths and hundredths (0.5 = 0.50), and then adding and subtracting decimals to the hundredths place.  You can help at home by giving your child two handfuls of coins and having them write the amounts in decimal format (e.g. $0.65) and then adding the two amounts together.
• L.A.
• Spelling: Lesson 13 continues, assessment on Thursday.
• Writing: We will finish our essays this week and typed them up during our computer period.
• Science: We have just a little bit to finish up this week including the "Garbage R's."  Ask your child what they all are.
• Social: Our geography travels are at an end, but our journey through time has just begun!  This week we go back to the beginning of human history in Alberta and find out what the First Nations way of life was like.
