I hope you had a great March Break, are well-rested, and ready for some more fun!

This week we will be working on finishing and practicing summarizing current articles about a variety of events. Soon we will be creating podcasts to share our opinions about some current events. Stay tuned for our Griffin Radio Podcasts!

We are continuing to work on Multiplication and Division. There will be an assessment on WEDNESDAY. Next, we will be moving into Fractions, Rates, and Ratios.

Students are seeing the advantages of becoming fluent with their math facts as we work through our math problems in class. You are encouraged to work at achieving your green circle at least 3 times a week on REFLEX.

Thank you to so many of you for donating books for our Used Books Sale. The students worked very hard creating bookmarks, organizing and collecting books, promoting our sale and running the event. They raised close to $1400 for the Therapeutic Clown Program at CHEO! We are so thrilled and proud of our Grade 4/5 students.

We cleaned out the towers before the March Break. It was time to cut down the weeds and clean out the tower. The Garden Club have set the seeds for peppers, tomatoes, eggplant and a few other vegetables. Stay tuned for pictures.

The Grade 4 students will be creating a musical instrument to finish up their unit on Light and Sound. If you could bring in materials that would help students to build an instrument of their choice that would be great! (e.g. paper plates, rice, paper towel rolls, cereal boxes, empty Kleenex boxes, elastics, etc.)

Have a great week everyone! See you tomorrow!
