Tuesday, April 19th, 2016





Highlights:
Did you know that some plants start off as seeds and other plants start off as bulbs? Today we took a closer look at a gladiolus bulb by making observations and recording them in a special book.  I wonder how long it will take before our bulbs sprout?

Some of our class got to paint their ceramic pots today.  We learned that the colour the “glaze” is in the jars will not be the final colour after they are fired in the kiln.  Mrs. Leung-Chow told us what the colour will be… I guess we’ll just have to trust her!


Homework:
Literacy M.A.P. – Wordy Study List #18 
Monday: end, friend, best, share
Tuesday: after, one once, upon
Wednesday: put, fell, letter, better

Tell and Show: There have been some quality and quotable clues for queenly letter “q”.  Keep on questing for clues, there’s only 2 days left!

Dream Box: Dreambox is an interactive math program that the students have been working on here at school.  We encourage the students to log in at home and practice developing their problem solving skills. Teachers are able to track their progress and see what areas they are excelling in or that may need improvement. Here is the link: https://play.dreambox.com/login/dq8q/panoramahs
