Hello Parents! I hope you are all having a wonderful weekend! 

We began our day yesterday learning and exploring capacity. We learned about the liter and the milliliter. We were able to use some containers to see how the same amount of fluid can fit into differently shaped containers. We made predictions and watched as two 500mL jars can be combined to make 1000mL or a whole liter! The class loved watching the colours change as we mixed and it really allowed them to visualize the sizes of the jars! 




In language the students worked on International-mindedness day work and then they presented everything each group had learned to the class. It was very interesting to see all of their learning! 

After lunch and recess we set up our Egypt stand in the auditorium before the class headed to french. When we came back the students were provided time to finish practicing for their summative presentations on Monday. They have been working so hard and I am so excited to see their presentations! 

We ended the day with International-Mindedness Day! I want to thank you all for your amazing contributions to our stand whether that be food, artifacts from the country, or bringing in research for the students. We couldn't have learned so much about Egypt without all of your help! I am so thankful for all of you! 







Important Reminders: 
  • Math homework page 128-131
  • Reading comprehension-reading a book and responding in journal to the following question- what do you think the author is trying to tell you/why? OR what do you think the moral of the story is/why? (1/2 a page to a full page) 
  • Re-registration packages due asap! They can be turned into the front desk or brought in with students, it is very important that you submit forms before the deadline to ensure your spot before they open up to the public! :)
  • Year ahead day is on Wednesday this week! I know the class is very excited to try grade 4 for the day with Mrs. Hocevar! Please remember that this day is about having fun and getting excited for next year-the teacher your child has for year-ahead day does not necessarily determine who they have for next year!  

Enjoy the rest of your weekend!
