Good morning everyone!

I hope you had a good weekend! I love that the weather is finally starting to warm up!

Over the next couple of weeks, we are going to be using found materials and recycled materials for Science. In grade 4 we are learning about pulleys and gears, and the grade 5s are learning about structures. If you have any of the following items at home, we would greatly appreciate if you could bring them in for us:

• toilet paper rolls
• paper towel rolls
• thread spools
• string
• pulleys (from Lego or Kinex sets for example)
• gears (these might be tricky to find)
• cardboard
• cereal boxes

In math, we are still learning about fractions, and I am really impressed with how hard students are working!

In language, we are starting to develop Podcasts about current issues that the students care about. I will post the podcasts on our blog once they are done! Stay tuned for those!

Events happening this week:

Thursday: Learning Commons visit for Makerspace!

Have a great week everyone!
