Dear Parents,

This week at school the students worked on their Humanities research project on the 6 Regions of Alberta. They are adding a slide on a specific animal from the region that they researched . Their info slide includes information on the characteristics, diet, predator/prey and facts. Feel free to ask your child about his/her choice of animal.

In math, we are focusing on "Number Patterns"; counting by a specific number and relating it to multiplication. Please ensure that your child practices on IXL math.

Our experiment on the decomposition of pumpkins is underway. Students are observing pumpkins in water, soil, air, vinegar and water. We will be having a quiz on "Waste in our World", on Monday. Please ensure that your child reviews the study guide in our Google Classroom.

I hope you all have a great weekend. Stay safe and healthy on Halloween.

Dear Mom and Dad,

    This week at school, we learned about natural waste and the ecosystem in Science.  We also dissected an owl pellet and discovered that owls eat a lot of rodents, small mammals such as mice, shrews, moles and birds. Feel free to ask me about this over the weekend.  

    In math, we learned about increasing and decreasing patterns. We described the rule of our patterns. Our class worked on representing numbers in a variety of ways too!

    Humanities involved working on a Google Slide Show of the 6 regions of Alberta. We hope to share these with you upon completion.

Important Information:

• This year we will be dressing up for Halloween. Although there will be NO schoolwide parade, we will still do some fun activites in our own class.
• Practise IXL math for 15 minutes and READ for 20 minutes daily. EPIC is a great resource for reading. Check out our Google Classroom!

Have a great weekend!
