What if you're not done??
Lunches, recess, literacy and morning advisory time can be used and assistance is  available - talk to me! 

Students need to have independent reading books available at school. 

We are continuing to read Wonder as a class. 

Science: 
We continue our study of the Nervous System  focussing on the BRAIN and conducting an experiment on focus and attention. How can we control what happens in our brain and our ability to learn and remember?

Socials: 

Headlines have arrived thanks to our many researchers (WTG!!) and new complimentary copies of the Times Colonist. We are reading, questioning and making connections to GLOBAL ISSUES and ourselves as we learn the latest around the world. Students will be working in small groups this week to discuss events and their importance. We are chosing charities which we want to support with some of our fundraising. The Red Cross Emergency Response has been very active worldwide in the past month in the US, Mexico and the Caribbean. 

French: 
We are working on introductions in French as we "run" across Canada, discovering Francophone communities en route. Click on the link below
