What's New and Exciting

In Inquiry, we learned about the fire in Fort McMurray.  We watched videos and saw how scary it was for the people who had to escape.  The fire was over 750 hectares big (a hectare is approximately the size of a football field).  105 people were evacuated from the hospital - but nobody died in the fire.

In Math, we learned a new game called "Place Value Yahtzee."  There was a few columns and you roll 3 dice.  If you can match your number in the column you can write it on the sheet.

We began our Literacy groups this week.  Each day, students will go to a different class and work on quiet reading, buddy reading, writing, and spelling.

Yesterday we had a presentation about Rocks and Minerals from Mr. Vogan, a Geologist.  We are learning about the rock cycle (we acted it out too - ask for me to show you my metaphoric rock!!)
