Tuesday, April 18th

Inquiry
Students are working hard preparing for the upcoming Celebration of Learning on May 4 from 6-7.
Students have been partnered up to research either an endangered UNESCO World Heritage Site or a site that is on the tentative list.  At the Celebration of Learning they will be the ambassadors to their site and try to persuade the voting body of UNESCO (you parents) that their site should either be protected or inscribed on the list. Part of their presentation will include information on Google Slides, which you are able to view at home if you'd like to see what your child is working on.
Tomorrow and Thursday students will be creating items to sell in our Royal Oak Souk - and funds raised will be donated to charity.

Writing
Students are working on their postcards from their travel to either Ukraine, Tunisia, India, or Peru.  (It was such a quick trip you probably didn't even miss them!)  Both the typing of their writing and the photos on the front of the postcard will be on Google Slides - so they can share that with you also at home!

Math
After our quick explorations of fractions, we are moving into measurement for the next few weeks.  This topic includes measure length using centimeters and meters; perimeter of shapes; sorting, classifying and building 2D and 3D shapes; time; and measuring mass and volume.  We will be starting with measuring and perimeter.

This is our last week with Ms. Murray, our student teacher.  The class and I are really going to miss her when she's gone!
