Math: All classes are wrapping our official unit on Fractions and Decimals. In Grade 4, students are expected to know how to relate fractions and decimals, and add and subtract decimals to hundredths. Grade 5 students are expected to know the same skills to thousandths. On Friday students posted an assessment to Iris showing their understanding. Please check out their post! That assessment will come home this week.
Science: Students are also wrapping up their study of Chemistry this week and should be reviewing those concepts on their title page, which is a cumulative summary of the main concepts in this unit. Ask your child how their title page is progressing.
Language Arts: In addition to our daily literacy groups, students are also actively engaged in a teacher read aloud of the book Zorgamazoo and in an independent novel study. Most students are finishing their book and beginning to work on a online brochure summarizing their novel.
Upcoming: Students will be participating in a week long basketball residency as part of our Physical Education program with Dave Singleton. Dave is a former Marquette NCAA Division 1 player. He has also played pro ball overseas and now trains here in Calgary.

Science In Schools
Our class was very fortunate to participate in "Chemistry in the Classroom" with the Science in Schools program on Wednesday, Feb. 26th. The students spent the morning exploring science concepts in an engaging, hands-on format. Thank you to both our volunteers (we couldn't have done it without you) and Parent Council for supporting this learning opportunity!
