Math – In math, students focused on estimating and measuring the areas of various polygons and quadrilaterials. They enjoyed designing a clown face on a grid, and then were asked to estimate and measure the clown's nose, mouth, eye and whole head in square units. Students were also able to find the area of their names in square units (see images below). All in all, it was a great week of exploring and learning about area through the visual arts! Prodigy – Students are always encouraged to log into Prodigy at home in their spare time to brush up on their math skills and understanding of concepts.

They then needed to collaborate by developing a slideshow to display the facts and information learned. Students began to practice their slideshow presentations in class today, and will have more time on Monday to plan and rehearse as a group before they share their findings with the rest of the class. I am looking forward to listening to the plant presentations next week. 4A and 4B students worked really well on this project. I was impressed with their technological skills, particularly how easily they could maneuver through the Google Docs program. Well done! Field trips - Many thanks in advance to the parent volunteers who are stepping up and helping out on Wednesday for the Heritage Park field trip. A reminder that permission forms are due back to the school on Monday. Cash, cheque, or debit/credit card paid in the main office are all options for payment, as well as online. If you require financial assistance, this is an option, as we do not want any of our students missing out on the trip. You will need to contact the office staff to make arrangements for financial support as soon as possible. If your child is not planning to attend the field trip on Wednesday, please let your child's homeroom teacher know. A copy of the field trip forms has been posted below, in case the originals were misplaced.
Have a great time this weekend, Kodiaks. Get outside and enjoy the sunshine!
