Wednesday

We spent a large portion of the day today looking at heritage fair, working on our stamps and starting to think about researching our projects. I told the students that if they would like to work in partners that they need to have their parents write me a note or email to let me know that they are fine with the partnering as they will have to work together outside of school time. Homework tonight:

- home reading (write up due)
- math Y5 p. 158 #1-15, Y6 p. 216 #1-9
- heritage stamp and write up must be finished by 8:30 Friday morning at the latest. I will be coming by to pick them up to take them down to the Henry Grube
- WITW/Canadian Reader articles and maps due Monday
- Yr 4 and Yr 5 math quiz on Wednesday
- skating forms in by Friday. If anyone has a size 9 pair of boys skates could they please lend them to a student in the class. Thank you!

Have a wonderful evening!
