Peru Day!

We celebrated Peru culture by eating some delicious food and creating a few crafts. Thank you so much to Rebekah Ott for preparing all of the food for the students to try. We had quite an assortment and they really enjoyed it! Some went back for second and third helpings! 

We also learned how to make Peruvian Wave bracelets. 

They used a variety of recycled materials to create Peru masks. These will dry over the weekend and we will paint them metallic colours next week. 

In Language Arts this week, we worked on illustrating our All About Me writing project. 

We continued reading from our Collections series. A few students are working on performing a readers theatre for the class.

We also worked on a writing project for our Grade 3 Memory Books. The students brainstormed a list of what they learned in Grade 3. They then chose their favourite 10 to write about. 

In Math, we finished our unit on Multiplication and Division. The students wrote their quiz and then we went over the answers together in class. Our last unit is Graphing and Data Analysis. We began surveying classmates in order to find out what our favourite foods would be for our year end party. This week we graphed the results of favourite chips, drinks and popcorn flavours. 

We have finished our multiplication mad minutes and will be doing division this week. Ask your child to explain how multiplication relates to division.

We are in the finishing stages of our Peru suitcases and our Life Cycles posters. The students will be presenting these this week. 

For the next two weeks the students will be learning skills in the pool. They seem to be really enjoying the lessons! Let's hope the weather cooperates next week. 

The rest of our butterflies emerged this week. We fed them watermelon and a mixture of water and Gatorade. At the end of the week we decided it was time to let them be free. The students gathered around outside and had the opportunity to say good-bye. 

We still have some keen readers! 

Congratulations to our new Student of the Week!
