Highlights

-In Science, we are working on building boats out of Lego.  We will be testing our boats later in the week to see if they will sink or float.

-In Math, we are starting to talk about graphs.  We made concrete graphs using silver and coloured paper clips and talked about what information we can get from graphs.  Students also compared their graph with a partner’s graph.

-Please return your field trip permission forms by Thursday, if you have not already handed them in.
