January 13

Today in gym we played flag tag.
In math we did 'almost standard' multiplication.
In french we read our scripts and finished our french writing.
In theme we researched extreme weather like Thunderstorms, Tornados, Cyclones, and Blizzards. We also watched reading rainbow.  It was the book "Coming Tide".  It started our unit on Weather.
We started to work on different energy sources and took notes on them.  This is in preparation for starting our Classroom Energy Diet Challenge - it starts on the 30th.

Just a reminder that Middle School Open Houses start next week.  I will need to know which Middle School everyone is going to by the 27th.  Earlier is better.

Tues. Jan. 17 - Lincoln Middle School
Wed. Jan. 18 - Golden Gate Middle School
Wed. Jan. 25 - George Waters Middle School
Thurs. Jan. 26 - Bruce Middle School

Golden Gate is where most of the grade 5s go.  The principal from GG was here this morning and handed out information about their open house.

Hopefully the weather will be better next week.
Parents are reminded that students should not be arriving at school before 9:00.  There is no supervision until that time.

Family Math night is Jan. 26.  Everyone is encouraged to attend and get math ideas to work on at home.  Please let the school know if you are coming.
