Today we... did a quick literacy task involving finding synonyms, read in our reading groups, started our new read aloud 'City of Ember', worked on decomposing numbers to assist with multiplication of larger numbers, had catch up time to work on unfinished assignments and tasks, and had a class meeting. UPDATES & REMINDERS: No school tomorrow or Monday. A few students still need to bring in their field trip forms for our upcoming trip to Fort Calgary on June 3. We will begin our lessons next week on human sexuality. If you don't want your child to participate, you must return the signed exeption form that was emailed home at the beginning of May. If no form is returned, than I will assume your child is allowed to participate in the lessons. Have a fantastic long weekend!
