This Week's Recap

What a short, but wonderful week celebrating Dr. Seuss' birthday! We have enjoyed all sorts of interesting entertainment including making Wacky Recipes based on Green Eggs & Ham, writing persuasive paragraphs about the Cat in the Hat and even making Oreo green eggs & ham (see below). In our paragraphing this week, we have focused on colour-coding to make sure that our sentences have:

• A topic sentence (green);
• Three star ideas (yellow);
• An explanation or extra details about each star idea (red); and, 
• A concluding sentence (green).

Please remember the following upcoming dates: 

• March 10 Skating & Grade 5 speeches due
• March 12 Skating
• March 13 Science test
• March 16 Speech/poem presentations & Menchies orders sent home
• March 20 Reports sent home
• March 27th Celebration of Learning (no regular classes this day. Students come anytime between 9:00 -12:00 and 1:00-3:30 to show you what we've been learning about!)

With regard to skating, if any parents are able to tie skates that would be greatly appreciated! We are also looking for parent volunteers to pick up and/or drop off the skate rentals from the Sport Venture library. Pick-ups have to be made around 12:30 and, unfortunately, this is not feasible with lunchrooms. Please email if you are available to help.
