Let's hope the weather this week gets more like spring in a hurry!  Next week is Victoria Day long weekend already, with Monday the 23rd being a holiday.  If any families are interested in looking after the guinea pigs for the long weekend, please let me know through a note in your child's agenda or through the school and we can make arrangements.  All of the necessary food and equipment will be provided.  If more than one family is interested, we will have a draw.
The grade 3's, 4's and 5's are having a presentation in the Fire Safety House on Tuesday morning to learn about safety in the home and safe exiting in the case of an emergency. We have other events planned for this week as well, such as the track and field day on Friday morning.
Math and language updates are below:
Math:  We have finished our unit on fractions and will be exploring patterning and algebra.  I have included adding and subtracting money amounts in this week's homework for review.
Language:  We are writing narratives, with illustrations, based on our "gritty" person interview.
