Literacy
Some students have completed their biography of their Canadian Olympic athlete. Remember to follow the outline. Many athletes also have their own website. You can find interesting tidbits of information there as well as on the Canadian Olympic website.

Read your book on the Olympics several times or until you can read it fluently. Make sure you can identify the NON-FICTION text features on each page. You will have 10 multiple choice questions and a question on the features of non-fiction. I will ask you to identify and describe the feature and give an example from the book. Very similar to characteristics of a narrative. 

Everyone was given their script to learn from "The One and Only Ivan". Please MEMORIZE your lines and be ready to present on Friday. Decide with your group what you will wear to present.

Share a book students DON'T FORGET!

Math
Everyone finished their time test today. I will have it back as soon as possible. You will also be taking out all your old tests out of your assessment folder to make room for new assignments and test in term 2.

Please practice your mental math strategies playing the game this evening. You can also practice counting money and making change.

Olympics
Your scrapbook should be finished at the end of the week. Tomorrow we will detour from adding and subtracting and talk a bit about double bar graphs. You will be constructing a double bar graph comparing Canada to your country with respect to medals (gold, silver, bronze) and compare Canadian men and women in specific events.

Reminders:

• Gymnastics presentation tomorrow in the gym at 1:00 pm. All parents are welcome.
