Thank you to all parents for your time and efforts to make Teacher Appreciation Day such a wonderful experience!!  We greatly appreciated the thoughts, food, and flowers!

This week we're bringing our unit to a close by working on our own research project to show our understanding of the different forms on Earth, the way Earth changes, and how those changes impact humans.   We hope to finish revising and editing next week. We will practice our presentation skills and invite parents to see our presentations next Friday.  
In Math, we finished up our Area & Perimeter projects and began thinking about fractions.  To get us thinking, the teachers put different amounts of chocolate on each table and had us choose where to sit to get the most chocolate - those were hard choices!!

We did lots of reading by learning different strategies to read online postings, we practiced partner reading with our Reading Buddies in 1M, and we also practiced our vocabulary and spelling with different word games.  

We look forward to presenting all our hard work to our parents next Friday, 21 April! 

Happy Friday!!
