 Dear gorgeous, amazing, awesome parents,

This week:

* We have been doing all of the math with Miss Swim this week. We have been doing measuring. We used a tape measure or a ruler to measure in cm.

* This week in gym we have been working on running. The grade 3 students will get a chance to go to the track meet on May 27. Miss Swim has been teaching us gym this week.

* Ms. Sloboda was working in the office this week. Today in Outdoor Ed. we went to the purple park with Ms. Richter. On the way to the purple park we were admiring plants. 

* In Social Studies we started learning about Manitoba. In Manitoba you can go on boats in the Assiniboine River. You can also swim with beluga whales in the Hudson Bay. You can also go in tundra buggies to see polar bears.

* In music we played the cup song! You do the clap song by: clap clap table table clap up down. (This is the only the first part.)

* In reading we are still having book club meetings. Most book clubs are getting to the end of the books soon.

* We haven't had much writing time this week. It made E.B. say "Waaaaaah". Next week Mrs. Marta will try to make sure we get more writing.

* For recess we go to play in the rock garden and bucket ball area.

Mrs. Marta's dashing, beautiful, wonderful, gorgeous, supreme, smart, super-amazing, spectacular, class.

 Dear amazing parents,

This week:

* We had three gyms this week. The first gym was for N.V's birthday gym. The second gym was a bonus gym with Mr. Marta's class. We played Dungeon Ball. Friday we have our regular gym and we are playing "Stores".

* We have been learning about the provinces. So far we have learned about Canada, British Columbia and Alberta. Here is an interesting fact about Alberta: the wild rose is the official flower. West Edmonton Mall has the biggest parking lot in the world! Today we are learning about Saskatchewan.

* In outdoor ed. we made nature boats. The only thing we used that wasn't nature was string. Ms. Sloboda had a wheelbarrow with water in it. First we checked if they could float. Then she made a storm with the hose and we tested if our boats could survive a storm. We pretended one of the rocks in the wheelbarrow was like an iceberg from Titanic.

* This week in km. club we started to go back to Spencer field.

* In math we learned some strategies for 2-digit subtraction. They are place value and rounding up.

* In reading we are all working on a book club! There is Alvin Ho: Allergic to Girls, School and other Scary Things, The Chicken Squad, The Escapades of Clint McCool, and Nate the Great.

* We are prepping for student led conferences. We are excited for you to come see our classroom and our work next Wednesday.

* This week we had soccer club at lunch recess.

 Dear amazing parents,

This week:

* We did a lot of Social Studies this week. We worked on our Inuit book and started learning about Canada. We watched videos, looked at a website, and asked Professor Google some questions about Canada. After we found our information we had to write down important facts.

- Canada is famous for poutine.

- The maple leaf is not an official logo (it is an unofficial logo).

- Canada is the second biggest country in the world.

- Canada is known for it's people always saying "sorry".

* We are doing gym this afternoon. We are doing stations.

* This week everyone got a book club. The books are: Alvin Ho:allergic to girls, school and other scary things, Chicken Squad, Clint McCool, and Nate the Great.

* This afternoon we are going to have 50 minutes of finishing. We have so much work to finish!

* In outdoor ed. we cleaned up the courtyard. We pulled weeds and picked up leaves.

* This week we have a new music teacher because Mrs. Poulsen had a baby. Our new music teacher is Mr. Day.
