Fountains of Forms Friday

General:

1. Calgary Safety Expo forms due Monday, March 7th.  

• Field trip down to City Hall on Thursday, March 10th.  Please note the Parent Volunteer Section.  We are looking for 7 volunteers in total.  Once we have 7, we will let you know.
• Room 14 and 15 currently have enough volunteers; HOWEVER, the other Grade 5/6 class is struggling to find volunteers. If you are able to help, we will do our best to ensure that your child is in your group, but most of your group will consist of students from the other class. We appreciate those who can still volunteer in spite of this. Those who have already been confirmed as volunteers, you will be the volunteers for Room 14 and 15.
• ADDITIONAL FORM from the City of Calgary: Media release form. Please sign if you are okay with the possibility that your child will be recorded, photographed, etc., by the general media or City of Calgary.

Math:

1. Please ask your child about the connection between fractions and decimals.  They should also be able to compare decimals numbers by looking at the whole numbers, tenths, hundredths and thousandths.  We will be adding and subtracting decimal numbers in the next few days.

Language Arts

1. Next up: Fractured Fairy Tales will be our second story unit of the year. 

• Students are encouraged to start thinking about fairy tales that they can re-write AND from whose point of view the fairy tale can be re-written that puts a new spin on the original story?
