Moving Forward ...

Thank you for all of the work that everyone is doing - students and Learning Coaches! I cannot thank you enough for the efforts and work that is being presented. Some students are really stepping up the quality fo their work, and are beginning to challenge themselves by extending their work to include more personal responses, details, care, and thoughtfulness within their thinking. Please keep up the hard work!

Research and Sky Science

 May everyone have a restful and delightful Teacher's Convention (Thursday and Friday, February 11th -12th) and Family Day (Monday, February15th)!

As we move from studying our government structures and systems, we were building knowledge of democracy so that we can explore Ancient Athens and the Iroquois Confederacy. We will be delving into these topics after Family Day. In mathematics we are exploring more deeply into the meaning of fractions to help us understand the processes of converting mixed numbers to improper fractions, and improper fractions into mixed numbers. In Science we are preparing to conclude or Sky Science investigations as we look forward to moving into air and aerodynamics.
