Time for an Update!

Hello, everyone! It's been awhile since I updated The Chalkboard!  Here are some tidbits from life in Room 301...

-We just finished Unit 2 in Math and we have started our new unit on decimals!  Here is a site that correlates well with our first lesson!  

-In Science, we are sharing our presentations with the class!  It is a lot of fun to learn from each other.  If you would like to see your son or daughter's presentation, just ask them to show you- it is online!

-We had an awesome discussion on the topic of sustainability yesterday!  We watched "The Story of Stuff". It brought up interesting thoughts on how we might help our school become more sustainable- stay posted for more news on how we might do that!

-In December, we will be learning how to curl!  It is lots of fun and parents are welcome to join us for any of our curling sessions, but especially the last date- Tuesday, Dec. 20.  We will need a couple helpers because it is "Game Day"!  Our sessions are at 9:30am on Thursday, Dec, 8, Tuesday, Dec. 13, Thursday, Dec. 15, and then Thursday, Dec. 20, at the Tartan Curling Club on Broadway Avenue.

I think that's all for today!  Have a great weekend!
