Highlights

In Science, we tested a variety of solids (salt, coffee grounds, sugar, fruit punch mix, math counters, tea) to see which ones would dissolve in water.

We also created a class graph, which showed our favourite liquids to drink.

This week we had a spelling quiz with 103 high frequency words.  Ms. Bain will mark the quizzes over the weekend and students will be able to bring their quiz home on Monday.

We finished our 20^th novel this year (Dingoes at Dinnertime).
