Language Arts
During Writer's Workshop this week the students wrote friendly letters to our former classmate, Kiera Mackay. I will be mailing the letters on Monday.
Math
We also began our Data Analysis unit this week. This unit is project based where the students planned their year end party by analyzing and charting the data taken from each other. On Friday afternoon we watched the movie Caroline. The student's collected first-hand data regarding preferred snacks and drinks for the party. Using the data collected they orgnanized it using tally arks, line plots and bar graphs.
The four questions they will be collecting data to answer are:
1. What type of chips would you like for the party?
2. What kind of drink would you like for the party?
3. What type of candy would you like for the party?
4. What kind of activity would you like to do during the party?
Here are a few pictures of the students collecting their data.
Using the date gathered, the students determined the types of snacks and activities for our party. Thank you so much to the parents who sent the treats for the students to enjoy. It was greatly appreciated!

The students enjoyed the Safety Smarts presentation this week. They learned about safe volume levels and how to protect their ears from permanent damage.
The students finished painting their Peruvian masks.
Happy Birthday to Mr. T who celebrated his big day on Friday!
Also, happy birthday to three of our students who have birthdays in the summer!
