Swimming is going very well. The kids are fabulous. Taking care of eachother by reminding about items left in the change room, walking so nicely to and from the pool, listening to the swimming teachers- I can't say enough about how great it has been.
In Math we have been having fun with data management. We have learned how to ask a question or take a survey to solve a problem. Then we organize the data and present it in a number of different ways. Tuesday I will send home a graph that your child made with some data about the class.
In Social Studies we are just finishing a unit about community leadership. We have identified some problems in our community that we want to bring to the attention of our community leaders. We will be writing some letters to the Mayor, Mrs. Beattie and the Leader Post about three different problems we have noticed in our school and neighbourhood.
Next week we are starting our last Science unit of the year on Animals. This unit looks at different animal groups and the life cycles of the animals. We will be starting this with something very exciting on Wednesday ( if it arrives on time!). Stay tuned!
Here are a couple of pictures of the kids gathering data for a question they posed.
Have a great long weekend!
