Dear Parents and Students,
We’ve had a very busy week, as usual, finishing with our tea party and the March assembly. I think everyone is ready to enjoy a well deserved week’s vacation.
In the Classroom:
Maths
We have continued with our study of customary units, including pints, quarts, gallons, ounces, pounds and tons. After the break, we will focus on metric units of length, capacity, and mass, and we will also review what we know about units of time.
Literacy Workshop
We have completed the entire story of Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, and spent the latter part of the week creating our own tributes to the book. We completed the week with our Mad Tea Party on Friday. After the break, we will begin our next major writing assignment: Writing an Opinion.
Science
We completed our final practical investigation of sound energy this week. After the Spring Break, we will begin our investigations into light energy. We also continued with our weekly Science Fair conferences to make sure that everyone is up to date and on schedule.
Social Studies
We completed and reviewed Chapter 8 this week, and previewed Chapter 9, which is an
investigation of what the American Midwest is like today. We will continue with Chapter 9
after the break.
Other important information
Report cards for Quarter 3 were sent home on Wednesday. Please contact the office if you haven’t received yours. Parent/Teacher Conferences will be held during the week running 17th-21st April.
