Hello for the last time Room 8 team!
What an amazing year we had. I had such a wonderful time working with everyone both online and in person. Everyone has worked so hard, you should all be very proud of yourselves. I know everyone will do amazing things in Grade 4 and beyond. You are all so special, I will never forget you. Stay safe, healthy and have a wonderful summer holiday.
I will miss you all!

Hello, Room 8 Team!
One more week down, only two more to go. I cannot believe how fast this year is flying by. Below is our learning update for the week! Remember, there is no homework this week.
Language Arts - This week in Language Arts we worked on publishing our stories.
Math - This week in Math, we finished up talking about perimeter and started to discuss 3-D shapes. We learned about faces, edges and vertices.
Science - This week in Science, we discussed dangerous sounds and things that can damage our ears.
Social Studies - This week we looked at different government and non-government organizations that help people around the world. We created presentations and shared them with the class.
This Monday is our last formal uniform day. Please come in your uniforms so we can earn another loop to get us closer to winning the end-of-the-year prize! Also do not forget to continue to bring a rain jacket to school over the next two weeks. As we all know, the weather in Calgary is unpredictable and I would hate for anyone to be unprepared when we have to go outside for our recess breaks.
Have an awesome weekend. Don't forget to wash your hands!
