We had a great week in Grade 5!  What an awesome, eager to learn bunch in 5W!

There will be no homework on the weekend, although I am encouraging the students to look for an "artifact" (a tool, toy or other interesting object from the past) that they could share with the class for our Social Studies theme of Investigating the Past.

Have a great weekend!

We have had another busy week in Grade 3! 

In Math, we are continuing to practice subtracting with re-grouping and also, we are working on learning our multiplication facts.  So far, we have learned the ones times table and the two times table.

We have started a novel study....Fantastic Mr. Fox by Roald Dahl.  It is a funny book and we are learning lots of new vocabulary.

In Science, we have started a new unit on plants.  This week, we learned how seeds travel and made models of different types of seeds to observe how they fly.

Our PenPal letters arrived from British Columbia and we were very excited to read the letters from our new friends!  We have replied to their letters and can't wait to hear from them again.
