This week we have been learning about homophones - those are words that sound the same but are spelled differently and have different meanings.  We used these words to write sentences and help us recognize when we have used the incorrect form of a word.

In Math, we continued learning about perimeter, and began looking into area.  We got to draw robots on grid paper, as our own versions of the robots from "The Wild Robot" which we are reading in class.

In Science, we learned about biodegradable materials and types of packaging.  Did you know that the first use of cardboard as commercial packaging was in Germany in the 1800s?

In Social Studies we are almost finished our group research projects.

Several students took their indoor shoes home over the winter break, and have forgotten to bring them back.  It is really wet and snowy outside, and to limit the mess inside the school, we do require students to have both indoor and outdoor footwear.  Please help your child remember to bring their shoes back if they have not done so yet.
