The IMAX trip was a huge success this morning - The Human Body movie was a wonderful introduction to this fun unit! The Wild Ocean 3D movie was indeed wild - the kids had a great time trying to touch the beautiful dolphins and sharks as they came perilously close to our faces!
It would be a wise idea to continue thinking about skeletons tonight as the information is still fresh. If you are meat eaters, perhaps your dinner preparation could include a look at the bones! There are plenty of interesting websites for children to learn about the human skeleton in fun and interactive way - here is one for you to check out! http://42explore.com/skeleton.htm
Tonight, please review our spelling words for the quiz on Friday. We tried an exciting new form of spelling today - making words! The children received 12 letters and had to construct as many words as possible from those letters. It is a great way to learn about the addition of prefixes and suffixes to words to change meaning. The bonus word was difficult (no one was able to find it!), and the 25 words for this week are primarily from this exercise. 5 of the 25 words are inspired by the upcoming skeletal unit - it is full of challenging vocabulary and it best to get right into it!
Government unit tests are coming home tonight - please review, sign and return. The "Great Canadian" awards are yours to keep - congratulations to 5G for learning so much about Canada in this unit!
Continue the practice of reading a great novel for 20 minutes, please, and record the title and author.
