We were very lucky to have a trip to visit Shepard Landfill and Compost facility this week. We learned lots about the creative ways to recycle items and the processes the landfill goes through to help keep our environment clean. If you want to review some of what we learned you can watch this City of Calgary Link:

This concludes our work with computations. We will be moving into telling time and different forms of measurement. Please continue to work on computing numbers at home. A few questions a night can really help students remember their strategies for when they get to Grade 5. The students know they also need to be practicing their mental math strategies at home. Being fast and accurate is important. If you want to get a jump-start on time, take a look at these links: http://www.abcya.com/telling_time.htm http://interactivesites.weebly.com/timeclocks.html In Science, students gave a final presentation on their crane designs and did a problem solving assessment. They brought home their duo tangs to show off their results to these assignments. We will now be moving into plant growth. Want to get started on the learning?
