This week was a busy week with our math assessment on fractions, our satellite testing, and writing poems. Please check the class blog for photos of our satellite testing.
This week begins on a Day 3.
Our learning Celebration is fast approaching. Please mark it on your calendar. We have heard from the administration and to clarify, we will be serving food during the celebration. It will also be running a bit longer and will end at 9:15. The team will be providing coffee and tea. 
A note from the PE department: On Friday, May 25th ISKL will have the traditional Parent Run (PE team assisted) Wet & Wild Day. There will be numerous water activities and games taking place on the lower field which will be revealed on the day.
Students will need to
- Come down to the field ready to go dressed in their water attire,
- Have school clothing in a bag to change into after the session.
- Bring a Towel, drink bottle & hat
- Only go into the change rooms after their session
Reading/Writing: Students will explore what is a simile and a metaphor. Once they understand what the difference is between them, students will begin to write poems that include similes or metaphors. Students will also choose words and mood to add meaning to their writing. We will pay close attention to the last line of a poem, noticing that often the end of a poem offers new insights into the rest of the text.
Math: This week we will be reviewing some of the major math concepts we have learned during our year. For the last three weeks, we will be working on the math units from the entire year. These include adding and subtraction numbers in the hundreds, multiplication, division, elapsed time, geometry, area and perimeter, and lastly fractions.
Science: Students will revisit the concept of patterns such as seasons and night and day. We will also review some of the concepts from the beginning of the unit. Check the class blog for posts about our learning!
