This week will be short and for students as we continue to roll along through April students will not be getting a new unit of spelling this week. Students will continue to work on short stories and poems in Language Arts.  
     In Social Studies students are working on their family tree and learning about how family works in the first nation cultures.  Reminder that the family tree is due on April 30th as well as a dish from student's cultural background. 
Science will see students working on Matter....in Math, students will continue with fractions and then move forward to 3-D objects.   
   
  Show & Tell Theme: Something I am Good At
For our next round of Show & Tell, we will be sharing something that we are good at. This is a great opportunity for your child to bring in pictures, a trophy, ribbons, medals, etc. pertaining to ONE activity that they excel in. Your son/daughter may also choose to do a demonstration, if applicable. This can also be a picture or craft that your child has made (if that is his talent). Maybe he can share about a club he/she belongs to. The goal of this Show & Tell is for us to see how different we all are, and that everyone is good at something. If you need help figuring out what to share, please let me know. Thanks.

Our schedule this week:
Monday, April 23- No School (Professional Development Day)
Tuesday, April 24-Fine Arts
Wednesday, April 25- Return library books (Library Day)
