Science
We will continue to learn about different stars and the different phases of the moon. Look for a project to come home on observing the stars. Also, look for the solar house project to be sent home this week. Please let me know if you have any questions.
Social Studies
We culminated our Communities unit with our community walk, which was very successful. The students were spreading a little sunshine along the way by handing out little sunshine cutouts with positive messages on them. Those who received them were all impressed and had smiles on their faces. McDonalds went very well. The kids quickly learned how important it was to apply tax when calculating the costs of their meals. It was a great real-life learning experience!
