Our Ocean Presentation on Tuesday was great!   We rotated through three stations... 1)  Over Fishing  2)  Salinity and Density  (how salt water makes it easier for things to float and 3) How Blubber Keeps a Whale warm - ask your child about each of these stations.  As you know Amanda also brought each of us our very own container of sea monkeys (with instructions and food).  If for some reason these didn't all arrive home please let me know.

We tried wearing a 'Blubber Glove'  to help us understand how blubber keeps a whale warm!

 Thanks to Cole's mom who helped us to make our summer trees for our memory books.  We actually used our 'hot air' to blow the paint around to make the leaves.

We have been busy this week working on our Ocean Lapbook, geometry in math and finishing our last rotation of Reader's Workshop.  We are reading poems this time, I need to practice my poem so that I am ready to present with my group.

Thanks to Jordyn, Jaxon, Cole, Emily, Zackary, Karman's parents who helped make our field trip for bowling possible (Also thanks to Tessa's mom from Div. 8 who drove 3 students in our class).  We had lots of fun and even did some pretty good bowling!

Popsicle reading is due Monday, students that return their paper popsicles will receive a real one on Wednesday.  If your child has read 100 minutes please sign and return their pink notice.

Our Year End celebration will be Tuesday afternoon.   Thanks in advance to Emma, Makayla, Kendra and Morgan.    Thursday is the last day of school and dismissal will be at 12:00.
