Welcome back! I hope everyone had a restful long weekend.
Only 4 ½ more weeks remaining in the school year for students. Today, students enjoyed the musical Shrek at J.M.H. The
production was fantastic! Students were well behaved and enjoyed the show JFrench - We
continue to review our units covered throughout the year as we write our year
end souvenir book. We are currently working on our 10th page. We
will take time this week in art class to design and draw their pictures as well.Math - We will
have our unit 6 (Geometry) test later
on this week, and move on to our last unit of the year. For the next 3 weeks students will be learning
about probability and graphing. Please continue to refer to Learn Alberta in my “links” sections for
enjoyable math games pertaining to the units covered in class.Science - Bridges
were the topic of discussion last week in class. We also took the time to plant
wild flower seeds as we also began to explore plants and their life cycles.
This week, we will go further and incorporate sols into the “mix.” Students
will collect earthworms to be placed into various types of soil and see how
each make out. Various groups will be tasked with ensuring that our worms are
well fed and watered as well over the next month. In the end we will use the
soil compositions to test for porosity, texture, etc. and how each holds up in
relation to benefiting structures i.e. foundations and plant life.Reminders:- Scholastic orders for May will be sent on the 23rd- Reading to occur nightlyLet’s have a great week! If you have any questions, please
do not hesitate to contact me at school.
