Math/Science

The students have been playing probability games and looking at why you would need this skill in the real world.

In science, the students have been looking at levers, how they make work easier and the vocabulary associated with this.

Reminder for this week

Due to parent teacher interviews, Thursday will be an early dismissal and there is no school for students on Friday.  Please make sure to sign up for an interview time on conference manager.

Social Studies

The students are working on a research project on an Alberta natural resource of their choice.  They have been conducting research through the online reference center, library books and textbooks.  They will then create a final product of what they have learned and present it through an app called book creator. 

This is the rubric they are following to check in with their work.

Science

The students have been testing out if certain simple machines such as levers make work easier.

Math

The students have been working on balancing equations and solving a basic equation for a letter variable.

This week they have begun a new unit on probability and are testing out different theories.

Report Cards

Report cards went home one Friday and you can now sign up for parent teacher interviews in conference manager.

Please make sure you sign the report card envelope and return it to school.  Thank you!

Upcoming events

Just a reminder that field trip forms need to be in by Friday for the COP trip on February 9 2015 so that the event organizer can have all the necessary information two weeks in advanced as required.

Report cards will be going home Friday.  Just a reminder the new report card will follow a 1-4 scale versus the previous 1-5 scale.  Please emphasize the comments with your child as being the most important part of feedback on their learning.
