 Dear fantastic families,

This week:

* We have been working on gymnastics. This morning the vault was four sections tall. We had to be very careful when we jumped! LT really wishes there was a trampoline.

* We are on chapter 81 out of 90 chapters of Wild Robot Escapes. HK really wants to tell us what happened... but she won't.

* We have started getting ready for Student Led Conferences. We will see you next week for our conferences on Wednesday or Thursday.

* In music we played some songs and steel tum drums.

* This week we started learning about shapes. First  we learned about 2D shapes (triangle, dodecagon, diamond, etc.) and 3D shapes (cube, rectangular prism, sphere, triangular prism, etc.).

* In Social Studies we learned about Alberta. Did you know in Alberta there is a mall called West Edmonton Mall. They have a waterpark and a carnival inside the mall! Did you know that Mrs. Marta is from Alberta? In Drumheller there is a museum with real dinosaur bones.

* We got a new Sporcle record of 136/197. We beat Mr. Marta's class!

* Yesterday we got a postcard from Hawaii. We watched a video about a big volcano in Hawaii.

* Our student teachers are teaching geometry, and Mrs. Marta calls her math "Marta Math" now.

* There is a book club reading the book Chicken Squad. Mrs. Marta calls them her book squad.

* This week we played with all the pieces in chess. These are the points the pieces are worth: pawn = 1, knight = 3, bishop = 3, rook = 5 and queen = 9. If you get a pawn to the other side it turns into a queen. If you get the other person's king you win the game.

We hope you have a magnificent weekend!

From,

Mrs. Marta's funny, caring, magnificently magical, singing, silly, smart, intelligent, and hard-working students
