I hope everyone received their gift to commemorate the special day.

I cannot stress enough how important it is for all students to practise their multiplication and division facts. Over time your child will become more accurate and efficient with his/her facts which will set him/her up nicely for success in grade 4. Our class has spent lots of time playing  different math games that did just that.

In Science, we are finishing up our unit on soil. Ask your child what humus is?

A FEW THINGS TO REMEMBER......

• Please have your child bring water bottles already filled with water to start their day off properly.
• Tuesday is Pizza Day for those who ordered it.
• Friday is Popcorn Day. Stay tuned to your child's agenda or the St. Rita website for more details.
• Report cards go home on Monday June 26th.
• Last day of school for the children is Wednesday June 28th

Hello Everyone,
The students used what they learned in their PERSUASIVE WRITING unit to convince me to change the seating plan one last time.

Thanks to Mrs. G for setting up a presentation put on by the Public Health Nurse to remind our students of the many functions of our brain and the importance of protecting such an important organ in our bodies. Ask your child to explain to you what 2 v 1 means.

Also in Health, we have been discussing the importance of dental care. We conducted a small experiment to see what would happen to the egg's shell when it came in contact with 3 different  materials. We'll see on Monday what happened! Ask your child what the outer layer of their teeth is called.

Our focus is Music and Dance in the Arts. The students had a chance to play two very familiar songs  using a percussion instrument called a boomwacker.

A FEW THINGS TO REMEMBER......
Old math duotangs, homework books, spelling books, Young Authors stories and various other odds and ends will be coming home on Monday. These, as well as the other books that will be sent home at a later date, serve as excellent review material over the summer months for those "I don't know what to do on a rainy day" moments.

Yearbooks will also be distributed on Monday for those who ordered it in advance.

The St. Rita Annual School BBQ is this coming Tuesday from 5:30-8:00pm.

I'm back!
I am returning to St. Rita with a clean bill of health on Wednesday June 7th. I have met with Mr. McCarter to ensure that the transition between teachers is seamless so our students continue to progress through the curriculum. A big congratulations goes out to Mr. McCarter for a job well done.

Stay tuned for more information about what's been happening in our class.

A reminder that this Friday is a PD Day.
