Today's learning tasks:


Quest Rehearsal - Our practice for the Friday performances is coming along very well. Great ideas from our students and collaboration with Quest professionals!

Math - Grade 3 (Addition with multiple digits - Intro.), Grade 4 (Subtraction with 4-digit numbers)

Science - light & materials (Opaque vs. Transparent vs. Translucent). Refraction of light Intro - we experimented with water and made some excellent observations.

Ask your child:
- are they getting excited for this Friday's Quest performance?- how does a liquid such as water affect how objects appear to us?
- are they going to bring in one of the following props tomorrow or Friday to help make our performance great ? (i.e. kitchen apron, red or green hat/toque)

Homework:

- nightly reading and math facts practice
- select students have math "exit ticket" to complete at home

Reminders:
