This week we had a great trip to the Science Centre. Thank you to all of the parent volunteers who took time out of their busy schedules to help. The small groups gave the kids more of a chance to explore. We attended a workshop about matter in the Science Centre lab. We also watched a show about solids, liquids, and gases. The students loved the liquid nitrogen.
In science this week the students learned about buoyancy. The worked cooperatively to build boats out of certain materials. They then had the chance to float their boats to see how many pennies they could hold. One boat held 158 pennies. It was so exciting!!
We have been working on assessing the students reading. Please continue to read and write at home often.
Next week we will work on paragraph writing and wrap up our Liquid and Solids unit.
In math we are moving onto the next unit: Addition and Subtraction to 18. You can work on or review these facts with your child at home.
Please check the school website for more information about school activities that are coming up.
Please write the word "library" in the agenda once you have read this message.
