Social Studies:

Students are making final revisions on their Canada Power Point presentations. I am hoping to start the oral presentations next week. If you would like to see your child's amazing work on these projects, please send in a USB stick and I will gladly save a copy.

Medieval Times unit will start at the end of April.

Science:

Scientists in School will be in our classroom on Wednesday, April 17th for a French workshop on "Pulleys & Gears".

This workshop will run from 11:30-1:10 p.m. and again after second nutrition break from 2:00-3:00 p.m. If you would like to volunteer and have not signed up please let me know.

We are continuing to investigate how light & sound are created and the impacts they have on our lives. The students will be rotating through different experiments next week to examine multiple factors of light.

Dance:

WOW!!! I am so impressed with how fast and hard the students have learned and memorized their dance routine.

We will be inviting you, your family and guests to watch the performance. I am hoping to finalize a presentation date at the beginning of May. Stay tuned for more information.

Physical Education:

Our next unit will be Track & Field events (100m, 200m, 800m, shot put, long jump, etc) as well as Touch Football. The students will be working on a variety of skills. If you are interested in volunteering during any of our physical education classes (Monday, Tuesday & Friday 1:55-2:35 p.m.) please email me at natalie.tessier@ocdsb.ca.

Please note that there will be a Track & Field day here at SPS. Date to be confirmed. It will be around the middle of May.

Health:

Students are continuing to learn about Healthy Eating habits, the importance of exercise and sleep. The students are currently creating "Cupboard Collages" in which they must organize a pantry with good choice foods and some treat choices. 

We will be attending a Dairy & Healthy Food presentation here at SPS next Thursday, April 18th from 2:00-3:00 p.m.

We will be starting our unit on Smoking & Substance Abuse at the end of April.

Language:

I will be focusing on verb conjugation and voice in writing. In reading I encourage the students to continue reading in chunks and summarize key points. This is helping them with projects and to choose whether something is interesting and/or useful.

Friday, April 19th is...CRAZY HAIR DAY!

 

Education Week (May 6-10th) theme this year will be....
