The students in rooms 12 and 14 have started stamina reading.  This means that we have been timing ourselves in class to practice focused reading on our own.  We have worked up to 7 minutes this week and we are charting our progress.  Our teachers have been giving us lots of time to practice reading to ourselves and we know that reading will make us better learners.

Our wall of decay has come down, and our class has identified that moisture added to decaying food items causes them to decay faster than items that were vacuum sealed.  The above photos are of MacDonald's french fries that decayed at different rates because one bag had moisture added.

When the grade three class was taking the SLA with Ms. Greaves the grade four class made clocks to practice telling time with. When there is time at home, please practice finding the small hand to see what the hour is.
