Wonderfully warm Wednesday

Science - Students tested their Drink Can Dragsters today, and we learned how many things can go wrong! Many of the dragsters need repairs (new elastics, for example) and students are welcome to repair them at home in preparation for next class when we will be adding cardboard wheels.

Math - A number of students for various reasons had not completed their homework assigned on Friday. The work was not difficult and while there were a number of questions it should have not have been a burden to finish the assignment.
Tonight's work is to complete pages 126-128.

Finally Friday

Math - Complete pages 120-125 for Monday.

Science - Poster extended to next Friday Jan. 26th

Thursday

Science - we will not need the pop cans and cardboard until Monday. If you have a spare wire coat hanger, please send it along on Monday as well, as we will need a few of them over the next few weeks. If you don't have any coat hangers, don't worry about it because we don't need too many of them.

Wintery Wednesday

Math - please finish pages 115 - 119 in the pink (or "rose" if you prefer) handout

Science - no homework

January 12, 2007

Well, we've made it through the first week of school 2007. We haven't been outside the last 2 days so hopefully the slightly warmer weekend temperatures will allow for us to get fresh air exercise outside.
Homework for the weekend is for those students who did not finish their work during the week:
- Spelling Unit 15 unit work (and corrections on Units 12, 13, and 14 if they haven't done it yet)
- The "Moccasin Goalie" story booklet

Book orders are due on Monday, January 15.
French Quiz on Christmas words is Monday, January 15.
Fieldtrip to the Lethbridge Landfill is Tuesday, January 16 at 1:00 p.m.

Some students have not returned their Social Studies Unit Test with their parent's signatures yet. These should also be in on Monday, January 15.

Have a good weekend!

Frozen Thursday

Science - Students are to complete a poster on our unit on "waste management" for next Friday January 19th. They have class time and Mrs. Fjordbotten will let them use some time next week as well. Pray for warmer weather next Tuesday for our excursion to the landfill.

Happy New Year! I hope most of you had a great holiday and are returning to the school year with renewed ambition (or maybe not?!). Well, regardless, I'm happy to see your faces again.
We are starting of the year with some old business. Just before Christmas, we had a Social Studies Unit Test. For those students who want to rewrite the test, it will be on Thursday, January 11th during the noon break. Please ask me any questions or concerns you may have before the test, at a recess break, in the morning, etc..
In L.A., Spelling Unit 15 is due Friday morning. We will be having a spelling quiz on Unit 15 words on Friday morning as well.
On Friday, January 12, the Grade 4 class will be part of the group watching a video on skiing. Grade 4 and 5 students have the opportunity to go skiing at West Castle Mountain on February 15th. We will also have a school assembly on this Friday after the video presentation.
The Grade 4 class will be going on a fieldtrip to the Lethbridge sanitary landfill on Tuesday, January 16th (weather permitting). Competed permission slip forms will be accepted until Friday a.m., so if you haven't brought your's in yet, DO IT SOON)
Book orders have gone home and are due back on Monday, January 15th.
That's all for now.

Science

A new unit on Wheels and Levers starts Monday! A letter will be going home tomorrow asking for items from home, and it would be great if students could bring an empty pop can and a couple of 8"x8" pieces of corrugated cardboard for Monday.

Thanks!

Welcome back to school. Hope you had a nice break and are ready to get back to school.

I'd like to take this opportunity to welcome Mrs. Fjordbotten to our school as a teacher intern. She will be working with our class in Science for the next few months. I know she is excited to begin working with our students starting later this week. Welcome Mrs. Fjordbotten!

Science: Please return the field trip forms to the school as soon as possible as we need to have them before the end of the week and a reminder if you can help out with transporting the kids it would be greatly appreciated.
