Math – this week we still review but next week we work on probability L.A. – we are using our ‘Reading Power’ kit, listening to a great story, and using Write Traits to enhance personal writing – we’re also writing a chapter book in collaboration with a partner class in Ohio Fine Arts – our goal is to learn how to play a song using our Boomwhackers (you have to see it to believe it!)

Math – after reviewing a few concepts that we’ve already done, we are venturing into multiplying and dividing with decimals (should be a quick unit before we start probability) P.E. – Track and Field is winding down (next week are the zones) and then we move right into swimming (starting on the 31st). That will be our P.E. for two full weeks HACE – this has been put on hold as we really have been pushing hard on our SS projects but we will begin to focus on HACE more next week and SS will take a back seat for awhile Let’s take a look at the upcoming week: Monday, May 17- P.E., Moo day, Presentations in the afternoon Tuesday, May 18 - Wednesday, May 19 – P.E., Eureka Science, Moo day, Presentations in the afternoon Thursday, May 20- Zone 1500 a.m. Friday, May 21 – International Day (bring any kind of cultural food to share that day, we are celebrating different cultures), Moo day As always, you can reach me at slane@sd73.bc.ca Let’s have a great week1 Upcoming Events: Monday, May 24-Victoria Day – no school Thursday, May 27 – Zone Track meet at Hillside Monday, May 31 – Swimming starts, Brock tour immediately after swimming Another week has flown by and already by the end of this one we are in the middle of May.

We do have a couple of track meets coming up (zones and districts) but we’ll focus on cooperative games HACE – we carry on with our focus on internet safety…..this has been put on hold until the projects are done but we will pick it back up and focus on it quite a bit until the end of the year Let’s take a look at this week: Monday, May 10 – Professional Development Day – no school for kids Tuesday, May 11 – Picture Day (class and group), 800 m run (so far booked for 2:45 but I’ll let you know if anything changes) Wednesday, May 12 -Moo day, P.E. day, our run through day for our SS projects Thursday, May 13 - Friday, May 14 – Moo day, assembly at 9:30 – 10:15 As always, you can reach me at slane@sd73.bc.ca ………………..
