Adventures With Mrs. Craig

 We are very excited for sports/play day tomorrow! Remember to dress for the weather. Bring a hat and wear sunscreen!

 We worked very hard this morning on a Math test and our Science unit test! They earned some free time before lunch. I noticed that many of them enjoy taking tests, which is great and shows their confidence!  Please check your child's backpacks. I have sent home some work with them. They are very proud of the art work they completed.  I will be teaching human sexuality June 13-17. Please check backpacks for permission forms. If this is not signed they will not be able to join. Please email me if you have any questions. You can also find the program of studies - grade 4 Alberta- human sexuality information online.  On Friday we will have Sports/Play Day! The students are all very excited! This will happen as long as weather allows! If not, we will reschedule.  Spelling words Red: Cree, see, free, tea, sea Blue: Alberta, province, Manitoba, Ontario,  Métis Green: British Columbia, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Northwest Territories, Ontario

 Our concert starts at 6pm tonight. You can be here at 530-545pm and send your child to my room while you find a spot to sit.  Thanks!

 We do not have spelling words this week. Today we worked on using the correct to, too and two in sentences. We will work on different homophones for the rest of the week.  Today we continued collecting our math data for our bar graphs. We looked up all of the data from the 'Battle of Alberta' games!  In writing today, their sentence starter was "If I Were a ____" They could choose and write about being any occupation.  In the afternoon we watched the division 1 Spring concert. Ours will be tomorrow.  Division 2 Spring concert tomorrow! Please meet me in my room at 5:55pm sharp. Your parents can find a seat in the gym. 

 Tonight is the school dance put on by parent council! The dance is retro themed (you can also dress however you'd like!) and is 6-8pm. Please use the front doors. Students must be accompanied by their adult.  We have been graphing the Calgary Flames. They have been collecting data on the number of shots, penalties and goals! Go Flames Go!  In Science we have started a new unit "Simple Machines." We used computers today to look up the definitions of: wheel, lever, axle, gear, pulley, fulcrum, friction.  Have a great 4 day weekend.
