Time is zipping away too quickly in Room 18!
Jump Rope/Hoops for Heart was a huge success last Friday! The kids participated in all events and did a super job!!!
Our students that went to city track in Guelph, represented Erin Public School well at the meet - Well done!
Some updates :
In language we are working on a major writing assignment : a proper essay. The kids have picked their topics and have started researching. The next step is to record their information in a planner and then move onto a rough copy. Good copies are due the second week of June.
In math, we finished the Pythagorean Theory and the kids wrote their test on Tuesday. Now, we move on to fractions decimals and percents.
In science, the kids are almost done their catapults, and the competition begins in a couple of weeks!
In gym, we will focus on outdoor soccer and ultimate frisbee.
Remember that next week Friday is a PA day!
Take care,
