June is quickly approaching and with it being the end of the year and such a busy month I thought I would get June information out to you a little sooner.
We will be wrapping up many units but also starting a few new ones. In math we will finish our Geometry and Data Management Units in May and June. We have almost completed our unit about Plant Growth and we will have a short quiz to wrap the unit up on May 24th. At the beginning of June we will start our final unit in Science about Soils in the Environment. We will be doing story writing in Writer’s Workshop and in Reader’s workshop we will begin a novel study called Expedition Down Under. In this novel we will be learning about Australia and comparing to our own country of Canada.
Our portfolios will come home 2 more times. In the middle of June I will begin to send home some supplies that will not be needed anymore.

Bricks4 kids was a huge success in 3JB last week. The students had a great time creating a suspension bridge, Eiffel tower and the Arc de Triomphe out of Lego. They also got to experience a group challenge where they were to create a tower as tall as their teacher. They used magnetic building blocks for that activity. The students used their knowledge from the Structures and Materials unit to create these building masterpieces.
Happy mother’s Day to all our mother’s. Our mother’s day gifts came home yesterday and the others will come home today. We hope you enjoy them! Have a fun filled Mother’s Day Weekend!
Plant’s Life Cycle
The students have been learning about the life cycle of a plant and a flowering plant. They will be bringing home booklet tonight that they can use to study from. We will have our exit card tomorrow.
Thank you for supporting your child’s learning!

We will be having a multiplication and division test on Wednesday May 10th. You can help support your child with this by having them practice multiplication facts to 5×5 and division facts to 25 divided by 5. Also have your child show the related facts. We have also been working on drawing arrays (equal rows) to show our thinking of multiplication and division.
Thank you for supporting your child’s learning!

May is upon us already and we are trying to fit in all the learning we can. The students will be working on a variety of new units in the coming months. In Science we are working on our Plant Unit and will begin our Soil Unit at the end of May. In Reader’s Workshop we are learning about transforming and how that can help us be a better reader. When we transform we look at the big idea and message in the book. We are also noticing how our thinking may change as we read a story. The students and I are enjoying exploring this comprehension strategy. It is really interesting to see how they think about a story and what message it gives them. Our multiplication and Division unit will be wrapping up next week. We will be having a unit test on May 10th and 11th. The next unit we will move onto is fractions! In Health we will be starting our Harmful Substances unit and learn how we can make good choices to keep our bodies healthy.
Below is a list of events happening on May at WES:
May 3rd- Fine Arts Night
May 15th – Bricks For Kids – In School Field Trip for grade 3
May 16th – Shrek Musical at WCMS (in afternoon)
May 17th – Bike Rodeo ( bring a helmet and a bike) We do the rodeo at 9:00 a.m.
