October 19, 2017


Dear Parents,


The students began an inquiry on the decomposition of a pumpkin.  We are conducting an experiment on which material will the pumpkin decompose in the quickest: soil, water, oil or nothing? The students are connecting their learning in waste in our world and plant growth and change to math activities, sketching and writing poetry. Our learning has transformed in many ways this week.  Please ask your child about this.





In math the students are working on various math centers that are on the different strands; for example, number sense, problem solving and fractions.

Important Information:

  • There will be an assembly held tomorrow morning at 10:45.  Parents are welcome to attend.
  • The grade 4’s are thinking of going on a community walk on Monday October 23 or Friday October 27th.  Our class is in need of 1 or 2 volunteers.  We would depart from our school at around 8:30 a.m. and return by 10:30.  If you are able to volunteer, please kindly let me know by email.

Students should be reading at home for 20 minutes daily. pLease remind your child to switch their books as needed.  Also return home journals and learning commons books every Monday.

Sincerely,

Mrs. Sayani
