Today we... did a literacy activity called 'Word Ladders', learned about the reading power 'Questioning', came up with deep thinking questions related to the story 'Ivan: the true story of the shopping mall gorilla', played a place value math game, learned about representing numbers in expanded form, discussed what Metis week is and researched information about symbols of Calgary, Alberta, and Metis culture.  

UPDATES & REMINDERS:  Next week is parent/teacher conferences (Thursday evening and Friday during the day).  We had a lock down practice today in the afternoon.  The students did a good job remaining calm and quiet.  Well done!
