Literacy
Everyone is on the drafting or revising step of the writing process... hooray! Next week we will be focusing on revising. 
Today we watched another video and brainstormed with our group possible messages (explicit and implicit). Tomorrow you will be writing your own three-part answer. Remember APE. ANSWER the question by making an inference. Use PROOF from the video to support your inference. EXPLAIN your proof and inference using your own ideas.

Math
Grade fours shared the answers to the Problem Bank questions. These ones in particular I thought were very "interesting" questions. I've also included a few from the Chapter Review.



Grade fives didn't get the chance to share the answers to the word problems. Make sure you understand the following questions from Problem Bank and Chapter Review.


Science
Today we began our discussion on the effects of humans on habitats. Next week we will have a town hall meeting (link to local government) to hear the arguments for and against a developer buying land from a local farmer near a lake.

Bullying Awareness Week
Excellent job presenting your poem to the JK/K classes and grade 1 class. Tomorrow we present to the junior division in the library at 1:00 pm.
