Oh dear,
I have been lacking on the communication front as of late it appears. I apologize for that. So much has happened and continues to happen in the classroom and out of it, that I have failed to document everything for you. This past week we had a great time visiting the University of Ottawa Makermobile makerspace. Students participated in two unique workshops involving programming & coding as well as design and 3D printing. Students were well engaged and respectful while we were on campus. We also had the huge opportunity to host Ms. Katie from Queen's University's concurrent education program for three weeks. Ms. Katie taught several lessons over the time she spent with us, focusing on a unit on Jack and the Beanstalk fairy tale. We are thankful to Ms. Katie for choosing to spend time with us and know she'll be an amazing teacher after she graduates. Coming up this week: It's another short week this week, but is also jam packed with learning and activities. Friday we will be participating in our Scientists in the School workshop on "Movement". We are still looking for parent volunteers to help facilitate the learning centres. If you are available on Friday from 8:50am -1:30pm, please let me know ASAP. In math we will be continuing to work on balancing and understanding the meaning of the equal sign in algebra. We will also be applying our understanding of fractions to the concept of time. We will also be integrating money and coin amounts to our work around the clock. Reminders: 1. Library Day: every Friday morning. Please return all books each Friday. 2. Popcorn Day: every Friday (in case of PD Day, Thursday). $1.50 per bag 3. Jump To Math family math night: May 27th 6-8 pm 4. PD Day: June 7th 5. Bike Rodeo: June 11-13; more details to follow 6. Book Fair: June 10-14 Have a great week! Stephanie :)
