It is a bittersweet day to say goodbye to all of my amazing students as I go off on maternity leave! They have all grown so much this year and should be proud of their hard work! I can't wait to hear how their learning progresses with their new teacher over the next few months!

This week we started our poetry unit and created poetry books that we will be adding to each week. Our first poems were haikus, where we focused on descriptive language and using our 5 senses to describe spring! Here are some beautifully written examples! #CBELiteracy

This week in Math, students were introduced to fractions! Students noticed they saw the concept of fractions in a lot of their foods so we decided to share our favourite snacks and represent them using fractions!

Wow! Our big design task this week was to create a Peruvian exhibit for the Calgary Zoo. Students practiced their paragraph writing skills to summarize their research, used their perimeter knowledge, and built amazing 3-D models! #CrossCurricular #WeAreCBE #CBEHub
