 A reminder to students who participated in the home reading club, all books need to be returned to the school ASAP! I will follow up with emails and phone calls for books not returned on Monday!

In math, we are working towards reaching the end of our fractions unit. Students are currently working on comparing fractions with different numerators or denominators. 

In social, we are looking at early settlement in Alberta. 

In science, we continue to talking about plants. Students will be bringing home their sprouted beans today, which can go in the dirt if you have a spot for them. 

In English, students are excited to be working on their story writing. They have created a character, a setting and a brainstorm of events. 

In Spanish we have completed our work on Joan Miro and are now talking abut the work of Antonio Gaudi. 

We have been working on our puberty health unit this week. We will complete this unit next week after wrapping up coping with puberty. Thanks for helping them with their "homework".

Hello! As I'm sure you have heard by now, we had a very successful day at Heritage Park. Albeit a bit on the chilly side.
