Today in Health we continued working on our puzzle pieces based on four of eight strategies for building resiliency. In Math we reviewed basic division with remainders, and then moved on to exploring strategies for dividing three-digit dividends by one-digit divisors. So far we have focused on traditional long division, but we will introduce alternate strategies (such as repeated subtraction) soon. We played Belly Ball once again in Phys. Ed. (with one student kicking a home run!), and then we read the final chapter of The Boundless in Language Arts.

We began the afternoon, as usual, with Quiet Reading/Unfinished Work, and then moved into taking jot notes about the Great Lakes - St. Lawrence Lowlands region of Canada in Social Studies. We wrapped up the day with Science, finishing up our resistors experiment from earlier in the week and then practicing identifying and explaining unsafe uses of electricity.

Volunteer field trip forms are coming home for the five parents who have kindly volunteered to help out on our Glenbow Museum field trip. Please complete and return as soon as possible. For the student field trip forms that have not yet been handed in, please also do so within the next week or so. Thank-you!
